Summarize the provided information. | Askey's side were leading 1-0 when the game was suspended, before being called off after a second inspection.
A win would have moved the Silkmen to five points off the play-off places.
"It is probably the worst decision there has ever been in football," Askey, 52, told BBC Radio Manchester.
"That's not an overstatement, normally you call a game off because you can't play but the weather has got better, it's better now than when we started.
"It's just a ludicrous decision and I just hope the referee gets reported and gets suspended.
"The referee said it was getting that we couldn't see the ball so we came off for 15 minutes and if it got better we would restart the game.
"You can clearly see both goals and the pitch and there is no reason why you would call the game off."
BBC Sport has contacted the Football Association for a reply to Askey's comments, while the National League declined to comment.

Give a brief summary of the provided passage. | Great Western Air Ambulance Charity [GWAAC] in Filton and Wiltshire Air Ambulance [WAA] in Devizes will use blood from Southmead Hospital.
John Wood from GWAAC said: "The blood will always be available to all our patients whenever we're operational."
GWAAC expects to give two to four transfusions a month. WAA expects one or two patients will need transfusions.
Blood from the North Bristol Trust Transfusion Laboratory at Southmead Hospital will be taken to the air ambulance bases by the charity Freewheelers EVS.
If the blood is not used within 24 hours, it will be taken back to Bristol and put back in the bank.
Mr Wood, the GWAAC operating officer, said: "It will be mainly use for trauma, so it will be road traffic collisions, falls from height, industrial accidents and those kinds of incidents.
"It will also be for medical patients who bleed spontaneously for a variety of reasons - we would also be able to transfuse blood for those patients too."
Other air ambulances across the country already offer the service. London's Air Ambulance began the scheme in 2012.
Ziggy Worrell-Owusu was attacked at the Basement Shisha Lounge in Ilford, north-east London, in the early hours of 27 October. He died in hospital.

Two 17-year-old boys who were arrested have been bailed until mid-December.
About 100 people were at the bar in Goodmayes Road where Mr Worrell-Owusu, who had turned 19 the previous day, had spent the evening celebrating his friend's birthday.

Provide a summary of the section below. | Ms Arietto has no ordinary job. She is the first woman working as chief of security at a football club in Argentina.
Employed by Athletic Club Independiente, her main task is to kick out violence from the game, an endemic problem in Argentina.
In the last 10 years, at least 66 people have died in football-related violence in Argentina, according to the NGO Let's Save Football.
Almost every weekend there is violence at Argentine football grounds.
The culprits are the so-called Barras Bravas, gangs of radical supporters who control the terraces and the streets around the stadiums, where they charge fans for parking.
Sometimes there are clashes between rival factions of supporters, before or after the match.
Other times, violence breaks out on the stands, the result of internal disputes for the control of the Barra, and the money that goes with it.
These gangs also demand money from players and clubs in exchange for their support. Independiente says $35,000 (£22,000) a month was being extorted from the club.
In some cases these gangs are - or have been - supported by football clubs' managements, and at times some have had links to the highest echelons of Argentine politics.
But this year, a new administration took over at Independiente, one of Argentina's biggest clubs, led by Javier Cantero.
Elected president by club members, Mr Cantero promised to end any ties with people who controlled the Barra.
Mr Cantero felt the backlash almost immediately.
And this is where Ms Arietto came in.
"Last May, after Mr Cantero said he would cut financial support from the club to the Barra, some 30 people burst into his office and verbally threatened him," said Ms Arietto.
"I thought that what had happened was unacceptable, so I contacted Mr Cantero to offer to help in any way I could to kick these violent people out."
This led to the trained lawyer being taken on at the club in September in time for the start of the new season.
"The good thing about being a woman is that nobody can come and pick up a fight with me," said Ms Arietto, half-jokingly.
One of her first steps was to ban from the club the people who were suspected of cornering Mr Cantero in his office. Charges have been brought in connection with the incident.
Next, the board cut off all existing financial support the Barra received from the club.
"Sometimes I get phone calls telling me that something could happen to me, that they will try to make it look like a random crime," said Ms Arietto.
"This is the normal reaction that you can expect after cutting the privileges of the criminal groups that were extorting money from the club."
Most of the time she is escorted by a police officer. On match days, she walks around the stadium, supervising security, talking to the police and mixing with thousands of fans who attend home games.
"I don't think they [the Barras] would dare to do something to me. But the idea of having an escort deters anyone from doing something unpleasant," she said.
Ms Arietto's experience in the judicial system is seen as crucial to the club's strategy to reduce football-related violence.
"We're trying to follow what was done in England, bringing these people to justice to set an example," she said.
Social inclusion
She previously worked with troubled youths from deprived areas, an experience which she said she was using in her current role.
Athletic Club Independiente, like most football clubs in Argentina, is a members-only social club. It not only offers non-football recreational activities, but also runs a nursery as well as primary and secondary schools.
These educational centres are now trying to reach out to the poorest areas in Avellaneda, just south of Buenos Aires.
"Violence in football is directly related to what happens in the slums. If we can reduce violent incidents in football, it could also help reduce criminality," she says.
The Argentine football season is now over until February. When competition resumes, so will the challenge of tackling violence.
Days after this interview, there was a reminder of the uphill battle Ms Arietto faces.
An object thrown by home supporters hit the visiting team's goalkeeper, which led to the match being called off.
She offered her resignation to the board after the incident, although it was not accepted.
Ms Arietto knows ending football violence is a slow process, but she insists she will not cave in to the hooligans.
"I deeply believe we are doing the right things," she said. | The day I met Florencia Arietto, there were flags outside her workplace calling for her resignation, and she was being escorted by a police officer after receiving yet another death threat. |
What is the summary of the following document? | The announcement follows a report by the National Audit Office last week saying the government could have achieved better value for money for taxpayers through the sell-off.
Mr Cable will be questioned for a second time on 29 April by the House of Commons Business Committee.
Business minister Michael Fallon will appear alongside him.
Royal Mail shares are more than 70% higher than their 2013 sale price.
Labour has called the privatisation a "first-class disaster", but Liberal Democrat Mr Cable has insisted the government was "right to take a cautious approach" to price-setting to ensure that it went smoothly.
He refused to apologise and said the sale had raised £2bn for the taxpayer, with a further £1.5bn from the 30% stake in Royal Mail which it had retained.
The privatisation of Royal Mail took place amid huge public interest and the shares rose by 38% from 330p to 455p on their first day of trading, meaning taxpayers had lost out on at least £750m in the sale.
In last week's report, the National Audit Office was critical of the government's approach.
Its head, Amyas Morse, said: "The [business] department was very keen to achieve its objective of selling Royal Mail, and was successful in getting the company listed on the FTSE 100.
"Its approach, however, was marked by deep caution, the price of which was borne by the taxpayer."
Demand for Royal Mail shares was 24 times the maximum number available to investors, the NAO said, but the banks overseeing the sale had advised there was not sufficient demand to justify a significantly higher figure.
The Business Select Committee is compiling its own report on the privatisation.
The controversy over the Royal Mail sell-off prompted angry exchanges between Prime Minister David Cameron and Labour leader Ed Miliband in Parliament last week.
Mr Miliband said Mr Cameron was "not so much the 'Wolf of Wall Street' as the 'dunce of Downing Street'".
The prime minister likened the Labour leader and shadow chancellor Ed Balls to "two Muppets". | Business Secretary Vince Cable is being recalled by MPs to give more evidence over the privatisation of Royal Mail. |
Give a short summary of the provided document. | Pte Cheryl James had thought people were "calling her a slag", former Army trainee Catherine Roberts told the inquest at Woking Coroner's Court.
She said Pte James was "upset" when she mentioned name-calling in the canteen four weeks before she died.
Ms Roberts said: "As far as I was concerned I did not hear anything about anyone calling her names."
She told the hearing: "She never did say anything about leaving the Army. She never said she did not want to be there any more.
"I recall once she came into the canteen and was upset and stated that people were talking about her, and spoke about people putting rumours around that she was a slapper, which she said she was not - stories going around."
Ms Roberts told the court Pte James had been planning a Christmas shopping trip which showed she was looking to the future.
Pte James, 18, of Llangollen, one of four recruits to die at the Army training camp in Surrey over a seven-year period, was found shot dead at the barracks in 1995.
In a written statement, William Porter, a paramedic with the Surrey Ambulance Service, said he arrived at the wooded area where Pte James' body was found at about 08:55 GMT.
He said: "I remember going up a slope a short distance. It was some woods... and seeing a female in Army uniform.
"I believed that her back was against a fir tree and possibly her knees raised. I could see a wound to the right side of her head.
"I could not see any sign of life. From what I could see I believed it was a suicide," Mr Porter said.
Insp Timothy Mackie, a MoD police officer, who was a sergeant in 1995, said Pte James' body was lying face down when he arrived at the barracks.
He said the undergrowth had been disturbed and the ground was damp, even though it had not been raining.
In his written statement, he said: "The body was face down. I do not remember seeing any wounds or a rifle."
He said he remembered being told by a police inspector as he left the scene that Pte James had a wound to her forehead.
Insp Mackie said: "I remember finding that strange because I could not recall an exit wound."
The hearing was adjourned until Monday.

Can you summarize the following information? | The plan is to build new schools on the former Army base at Lisanelly.
But some schools are reluctant to agree and one school, Loreto Grammar, has taken the Department of Education to court over its failure to build new premises on its existing site.
The department said that five schools are currently interested in moving to the Lisanelly site.
The three most enthusiastic are believed to be Arvalee Special School, Omagh High School and Sacred Heart College.
The new site would include some shared areas, such as a school of performance, sports facilities and an ecology centre.
While Education Minister John O'Dowd admits the financial situation is challenging, he wants to proceed with the plans.
Mr O'Dowd will meet educationalists and young people in Omagh at an exhibition of the school campus design.
The Bishop of Fulham, John Broadhurst, has become the fourth Anglican bishop to make the announcement.
He intends joining the Roman Catholic Church because of his opposition to the way the Church of England plans to introduce women bishops.
Meanwhile, a Kent Anglican congregation has become the first to take up the Pope's offer to convert to Catholicism.
The Pope created a special enclave in the Roman Catholic Church for Anglicans unhappy with their church's decision to let women become bishops.
The Catholic Group on the CofE's General Synod said it deeply regretted the decision by Bishop Broadhurst.
The bishop, who is the leader of the traditionalist organisation Forward in Faith, is the most significant Anglican so far to say he will convert to Catholicism.
He is currently the "flying bishop" charged with looking after traditionalist parishes opposed to women priests and bishops in the dioceses of London, Southwark and Rochester.
The Catholic Group said it was determined to stay in the Church of England and fight for a better deal for Anglicans who did not want to serve under women bishops.
By Robert PigottBBC News religious affairs correspondent
It was thought to be priests rather than whole congregations who would drive to convert to Roman Catholicism. It is priests who would be most directly exposed to serving under a woman bishop.
Although this early decision by St Peter's has taken observers somewhat by surprise, it shouldn't be seen as evidence of a flood of parishes or even priests leaving for Rome.
They are almost bound to have to give up attractive churches such as St Peter's and spend some time worshipping in the "wilderness" of borrowed or rented accommodation, and there is a strong element among traditionalists on the catholic wing of the Church of England who want to stay and fight for increased "protection" from serving under a women bishop.
They claim results of the recent elections to the CofE synod give them hope that they can block or change the legislation, although liberal Anglicans dispute this.
BBC religious affairs correspondent Robert Pigott says the group's statement seems intended to counter any encouragement Bishop Broadhurst's announcement might give to traditionalist clergy to take up Pope Benedict's offer of a privileged place in the Roman Catholic Church.
Our correspondent says many traditionalist clergy are unhappy with the level of protection so far offered to them from serving under a woman bishop, but might hesitate in the face of a decision likely to cause them considerable personal hardship.
Bishop Broadhurst's statement came as it emerged that the traditionalist Anglo-Catholic congregation of St Peter's in Folkestone had become the first to begin the process of leaving to join the Roman Catholic Church.
The Pope has created a special enclave in the Roman Catholic Church for Anglicans unhappy with their Church's decision to let women become bishops.
Under his controversial offer, Anglicans could retain some of their practices and traditions.
The vote for St Peter's to convert took place at the end of September - perhaps encouraged by the Pope's visit to Britain - but it has only emerged now.
At the time of the visit the Archbishop of Canterbury - in whose diocese St Peter lies - joked that he and the Pope had at least two things in common, a fondest for cats, and a keenness to recruit Anglican clergy.
However, the initiative was taken by lay people, with the intention of converting as a group, our correspondent added.

Give a brief summary of the provided passage. | Prime Minister Theresa May has spoken of a frictionless Irish border post-Brexit.
But Carwyn Jones said he would not support any deal that made it harder to move goods through Wales.
He was speaking on the BBC's Sunday Supplement programme.
Ms May said in January: "We need to find a solution which enables us to have as seamless and frictionless a border as possible between Northern Ireland and Ireland so that we can continue to see the trade, the everyday movements that we have seen up to now."
But Mr Jones said: "If there was a frictionless border... between north and south, if you were moving goods into the island of Ireland, you would then be tempted to go via Scotland or via Liverpool if we had customs posts and border control in the Welsh ports.
"So we need to make sure that goods are able to move between Wales and the Republic of Ireland on the same basis as they are between Northern Ireland and the Republic, or we lose trade and we lose jobs in the Welsh ports.
"What I would not support is any kind of deal where it's easier to move goods into the EU via Northern Ireland than through the Welsh ports."
Following a summit of British and Irish ministers on Brexit in November, Mr Jones said it was agreed there "should be no hard border" between the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
"Access to the single market is the most important issue," he said at the time. | Jobs and trade will be lost in Wales if it is easier to move goods into the EU via Northern Ireland than through Welsh ports after Brexit, the first minister has said. |
Can you provide a brief summary of the following information? | A new audio-visual exhibition will chart the story of how Philip Yorke III, the last squire of Wrexham's Erddig Hall, gifted it to the charity after it fell into disrepair.
It took a four-year, £1m restoration to get the house and gardens back to their former glory.
It now costs the National Trust £81,000 a month to run it.
Mr Yorke's family had lived at Erddig Hall since the 1700s but by 1973, large parts of the 70-room house were in urgent need of repair.
He had lived out of one room for seven years, trying alone to combat the decay, with no heir nor family to help him.
Mining directly under the house after World War Two caused the building to drop 5ft (1.5m) on one side.
The roof was rotten and leaking, causing damage to hand-painted wallpapers, and the family's collection of 30,000 paintings, furniture, ornaments and trinkets was disintegrating.
Finally, Mr Yorke took the difficult decision to hand over the house, grounds and all its contents to the charity.
He died in 1978 - one year after the house opened its doors to the public. At the time, he said: "I rather like the idea of people coming to see [the house].
"[When I was young] it was very well run and we had lots of people staying here in the summer. They [the National Trust] are going to do it up so people can come and enjoy it as it used to be."
Jamie Watson, Erddig's general manager, said: "It is not just the monetary cost of looking after a home of this size - a lot of time and care goes into making sure the rooms, 30,000-plus ornaments and furnishings and 1,200 acres (485 hectares) of parkland and gardens are maintained for future generations.
"Unfortunately, it came to a point for Philip when he was no longer able to do that, but we are very lucky to have our team and generosity of our volunteers to help keep his memory alive and protect his home and everything in it, just as he wished." | The 40th anniversary of the opening of a 17th Century stately home to visitors will be marked by National Trust Wales. |
Summarize the passage below. | The 51-year-old man, who is thought to be from the Aberdeen area, was on the Carn Mor Dearg Arete when he fell.
The ridge is often used by experienced walkers as a more challenging way of reaching the summit of Ben Nevis.
The alarm was raised by his two companions on Friday morning. His body was recovered by the Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team.
The man was airlifted to hospital in Fort William, where he has pronounced dead.
Mountain rescue team leader John Stevenson said conditions in the area were good at the time, and the walkers had been well-equipped for the mountains.
The man was the second to have died in the area this week.
The body of 60-year-old Ian Bell, from Hertfordshire, was found by the mountain rescue team on Carn Mor Dearg on Tuesday. He had been reported missing the previous day.

Can you summarize this content? | Ian Katz said some of the reaction to the debate on whether the language was a "help or hindrance to the nation" had a "whiff" of "unwillingness" to tackle questions over its promotion.
Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg called his letter "belittling".
The BBC previously said the item should have included a Welsh speaker.
It said it had no new statement to make on Mr Katz's letter, which also said Cymdeithas was unable or unwilling to appear on the programme - a claim the organisation said was untrue.
The letter was responding to North Wales Police and Crime Commissioner and Plaid Cymru member Arfon Jones, who complained to Mr Katz following the programme.
Mr Jones wrote his letter in Welsh and in an initial response Mr Katz said: "Did you mean to send it to me in Welsh? If so, you'll appreciate that I won't be able to reply till I have had it translated."
In a further letter to Mr Jones, the editor accepted the programme's guest casting was not good enough, and the wording of its introduction "was cruder than it should have been".
But he said he would "strongly argue that the question of whether the public promotion of the Welsh language is effective and beneficial to Wales is a perfectly legitimate subject of debate".
"We should have approached it with more subtlety, I agree, but there is a whiff in some of the response to our item of an unwillingness to even countenance such an impertinent question," he added.
Mr Katz also said it was a "fair" point the debate should have included a fluent Welsh speaker, adding the Welsh Language Commissioner and Cymdeithas were invited on "but they were sadly unable or unwilling to participate".
Cymdeithas said that was untrue and they had told a researcher the group could appear live and had offered to go to a studio.
The Welsh Language Commissioner said it informed Newsnight the programme could use an interview which had already been given to the BBC, and also provided the programme with a statement.
The organisation's chairwoman Heledd Gwyndaf said: "This is part of a pattern by the BBC of belittling Wales and the Welsh Language.
"The letter is factually wrong, arrogant and patronising."
She added that the letter was so "frightening" she believed "the editor of Newsnight should resign due to his prejudicial attitude".
Mr Jones called the response "trivial and soulless" and "patronising in tone".
He added: "They have tried to apologise but it's not really an apology."
More than 8,000 people have signed a petition calling for an independent review of how the BBC portrays the Welsh language.
In a statement issued earlier in August the BBC said: "Whilst different perspectives were included in this item on the Welsh language, the discussion of such an important subject would have benefited from more thorough analysis and debate.
"We regret that, but believe it was important to look at this topic and we will do so again in the future."
A later statement said it understood why viewers felt the item was "biased" with guests "poorly chosen".

Can you summarize the following paragraph? | But in her statement announcing her resignation, Ms James suggested some at the upper echelons were never fully on board.
She said while she had won the support of members, she did not have the full backing of UKIP's MEPs or party officers to implement the changes she felt necessary, prompting her decision to step aside.
The statement also referenced personal reasons - thought to be family illness, as well as abuse she received since her election.
It was largely unexpected though, even among some senior party figures who expressed surprise or even shock at the timing.
Ms James took over UKIP at a time when it was beset by rifts and infighting.
There were different factions within the party that were struggling to come together and agree on its future direction.
When elected, she made a point of saying that the focus for her was on unity - the party needed to get behind her and rally around.
She wanted to make some changes about the way the party was governed, how its ruling body, the national executive committee, ran things.
Reading between the lines of her statement, it seems she does not feel she can continue do that.
We can assume she thinks the job was just too big or she did not have the support of her colleagues within UKIP.
UKIP members have gone through a strange period.
They won the EU referendum in their eyes. They got what they wanted. The party after that moment was on a real high.
At their conference in Bournemouth you could really sense that euphoria but at the same time they had Nigel Farage - the man people credit with UKIP's success - resign.
So people looked to the next leader for some sort of stability and viewed Ms James as the best option for that.
She was the clear frontrunner and yet has decided she cannot continue so this now will throw UKIP back into a state of turmoil and division. | On being elected UKIP's leader less than three weeks ago, Diane James was clear she wanted to change the party and the way it was run. |
Give a concise summary of the passage below. | They are being recruited as unwitting "money mules" who allow their own bank accounts to be used to disguise the proceeds of crime.
The study was carried out by Financial Fraud Action, which tackles fraud on behalf of banks.
It said that students and jobseekers could be especially vulnerable.
Some 19% of students who had been approached had agreed to become money mules.
"It's a very serious problem," warns DCI Dave Carter, an investigator from Financial Fraud Action.
"Almost every single criminal transaction that goes on depends on money mules, to turn the money from crime into something the criminals can spend themselves."
The fraudsters contact likely targets by sending out mass emails offering employment, or after sifting through CVs posted by job seekers on employment websites.
Then they offer jobs as "money transfer agents", "payment processing agents" or "administration assistants" for salaries of hundreds of pounds a week.
It looks like a proper job offer, but the real purpose is to channel cash from criminal activity through a person's own bank account, making them the fraudster's money mule.
Kayleigh Rance has been hunting for work for a year. She was taken in and even signed a contract. Then, luckily, she pulled out.
"It just makes you feel a bit sick," she complains, "I feel like I've got to go through all the websites now and take my CV off because I don't want it to happen again."
The dirty cash comes from credit card fraud, money stolen from bank accounts and other rip-offs.
Paying it into the money mule's account disguises where it comes from. The mule transfers it to an account in an overseas bank, controlled by the fraudster. It is classic money laundering.
Some money mules are paid by a straightforward cut of the cash being handled. A typical share would be 8%.
The first mules tended to be new entrants to the UK, processing funds generated by crime within their own communities in London and other major cities.
But the power of the internet has allowed the perpetrators to start targeting other groups, including students desperate to earn some extra cash.
Financial Fraud Action commissioned ICM to question 2,000 adults along with separate groups exclusively made up of students, jobseekers and new entrants to the UK.
Around 15% had received the suspect job offers. Overall 6% of those who had been approached accepted the offers, rising to 13% of the unemployed, 19% of students and 20% of new entrants.
Crimestoppers is running a campaign in universities across the UK to warn students not to be fooled into becoming involved, telling them: "Don't be a mule!".
Megan Owen, who is studying criminology, volunteered to help at one recent event in Birmingham City University.
"Lots of students we approached said they'd been affected or their friends had been affected," she said.
Extrapolating from its survey, Financial Fraud Action concludes that 380,000 people could have become unwitting money mules.
The figure is a stab in the dark, but it is clear that the problem is becoming worse and that few of those who become involved understand the risks they are running.

Provide a concise overview of the following information. | AIC Steel Limited was set up in 2013 to buy another steel firm in the city, Rowecord Engineering, which also went into administration three years ago.
Joint administrators David Hill and Huw Powell, from Begbies Traynor, said on Wednesday that 101 posts had been made redundant.
A further 29 staff will stay on to assist with the business.
The administrators said they are looking at the viability of continuing trading.
The company, like its predecessor, has been involved in making specialist steel fabricated structures used in the building of sports stadiums around the world.
One of its recent projects has been the Bristol City football and rugby stadium re-development at Ashton Gate.
Only in 2012, there were 1,000 people working at the factory in Newport, under the shadow of the city's transporter bridge.
Rowecord had supplied materials for the roof of London 2012's Olympic aquatics centre.

The Telegraph newspaper claims it has obtained a forged bank letter submitted when Gino Pozzo became the Hornets owner before the 2014-15 campaign.
Watford won Premier League promotion that season, and could have points deducted or be fined if they are found to be at fault.
Watford said they are carrying out an internal investigation.
An EFL spokesman confirmed it had started an investigation into "serious allegations" and had contacted the club after receiving information from the newspaper.
He said Watford had been asked to "provide a full and detailed response to the allegations".
The Telegraph claims the "fabricated" document shows that the holding company which owns Watford - Hornets Investment Ltd - had enough money to be issued a bank guarantee of up to £7m and therefore allow Italian Pozzo to take control of the club.
The newspaper says there is no indication that Pozzo himself knew that the letter had been obtained or submitted on his behalf.
In a statement, Watford said it had "no prior knowledge of any concerns about the authenticity of the document" and that more than £20m had been invested in the club since the takeover.
It said the club "takes this matter extremely seriously" and would report back to the EFL next month.
In a defiant speech, Mr Temer said a secret audio recording, in which he allegedly discusses the payment of hush money to a jailed politician, needed to be validated.
Mr Temer is suspected of corruption and obstruction of justice which he denies.
Despite growing calls for him to go, Mr Temer repeated that he would not quit.
In the audio recording, made at a meeting with Joesley Batista, president of giant meat-packing firm JBS, Mr Temer appears to be discussing bribes to the former speaker of the lower house of Congress, Eduardo Cunha, who is serving a prison sentence for corruption.
The money would be in exchange for Cunha's silence over Mr Temer's alleged implication in Brazil's wide-ranging corruption scandal known as Operation Car Wash.
The probe, launched in March 2014, centres on companies that were offered deals with state oil giant Petrobras in exchange for bribes, which were funnelled into politicians' pockets and political party slush funds.
The scandal has engulfed Brazilian politics, with a third of Mr Temer's cabinet under investigation for alleged corruption. Former president Lula is already facing five charges.
The man Mr Temer allegedly condoned the bribery to - Eduardo Cunha - is in prison for corruption, money laundering and tax evasion.
Both men played a key role in the downfall of Ms Rousseff, who was removed from office accused of illegally manipulating government accounts. She denies all the charges.
The president is biding his time by asking the Supreme Court to suspend investigations until the audio is verified, and justice Edson Fachin's decision to order the verification may give him some breathing room.
But the crisis is unravelling quickly, with the first party of the ruling coalition having decided to leave the government on Saturday; and the remaining coalition members assessing whether it's time to abandon ship.
While the president struggles to save his mandate, the economic and political elites are already discussing the day after - and the possible scenarios would President Temer resign, suffer impeachment or have the 2014 election result annulled by Brazil's Electoral Court.
"I have never bought anyone's silence, haven't obstructed justice and haven't done anything against the judiciary," Mr Temer said in the televised address at the presidential palace on Saturday.
Mr Temer is already deeply unpopular in Brazil but his centre-right party has been able to govern as part of a coalition. He took office a year ago, after President Dilma Rousseff's impeachment.

Please summarize the following text. | Areas affected include adult social care and children's services, including children's centres.
The county council said an increase in demand meant it needed to save the extra cash by 2018.
It comes on top of £64m cuts announced last year, when leader Conservative Ian Hudspeth said children's centres were no longer under threat.
Fears that some centres could close sparked protests last year.
A petition signed by David Cameron was presented by about 100 campaigners to the authority in a bid to save the county's 44 centres.
It was later agreed there would be a review to agree how the council could save £3m in 2017.
This latest round of proposed cuts sees the children's services lose an additional £1m next year, and £2m the following year.
However, the authority said there would be "no immediate reductions in services for many months".
Mr Hudspeth, said: "The council is facing unprecedented budget pressures from the rising costs of care and this pressure is expected to continue for many years to come.
"Since 2010, we have had five years of reducing council costs and finding savings of more that £200m."
Labour county councillor Liz Brighouse said none of the county's centres should close, but said because of the "massive cuts in budgets" she did not know how the council could keep them all open.
"We have to make sure centres which are keeping children safe are properly funded and kept open," she added.
A further £2m is set to come from the subsidised transport budget, which includes home to school transport, concessionary bus passes and dial-a-ride.
Another £6.1m would be found from learning disability services.
The council had already announced it would need to find that money and is running a consultation called the Big Plan looking at changing ways in which learning disabilities services work.
There will also be another £3m of unidentified cuts that would come from adult social care.
The annual cost of a resident parking permit would also rise from £50 to £60.
The new cuts would be implemented from next April up until the end of March 2018.
The council's cabinet will consider the proposals on 16 December. Full council is expected to make a final decision in February.
The leader of Oxfordshire County Council sees its financial woes as a clear case for more devolution.

The club were fined £875,000 after being found guilty of two of the seven charges against them relating to the Argentine midfielder's ownership.
QPR had feared they could be docked points, which could have left them in the play-off places.
But the verdict allowed them to receive the Championship trophy on Saturday.
QPR manager Neil Warnock and his players collected the prize at their Loftus Road home after a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Leeds in their final game of the season.
Warnock and the club's directors had been informed of the panel's verdict on BBC1's Football Focus one hour before kick-off.
Warnock told BBC Sport: "There have been a few tears in the dressing room. It's been a hell of a time and how they [the players] have been able to focus I'll never know.

"I can't praise them high enough. It hasn't sunk in completely. It's just a relief to know we are the champions."
The verdict ended the possibility of Cardiff or Swansea moving into an automatic promotion place at QPR's expense.
But both Welsh clubs confirmed they would not take further action regarding the decision.
The decision not to dock the west Londoners points was made by an independent tribunal convened by the Football Association.
The panel imposed a fine of £800,000 for a breach of FA Rule E3 - which relates to bringing the game into disrepute - and a fine of £75,000 for breaking Rule A1, which outlaws the use of unauthorised agents.
The club was warned as to its future conduct with regard to regulatory compliance, and ordered to pay 50% of the costs of the tribunal.

A further five charges against the club and one charge against chairman Gianni Paladini were found not proven.
The club and Paladini had been charged with submitting false information in documents provided to the FA relating to a contract extension signed by Faurlin in October.
The tribunal had been scheduled to deliver its findings by 1600 BST on Friday but the verdict was delayed because of the weight of evidence.
That prolonged the agony for QPR, who had secured their promotion to the Premier League as champions with last Saturday's 2-0 win at Watford, but had to put their celebrations on hold.
The FA had been investigating the case since September, when QPR first asked for permission to buy out the third party that owned the economic rights of Faurlin.
QPR were prompted to do this by the Football League's introduction of rules prohibiting the third-party ownership of players.
The League told the Loftus Road outfit they would have to notify the English football's governing body of their plans and it then became apparent the club may have been in breach of FA regulations for more than a year. | QPR have been promoted as Championship winners after they escaped a points deduction for breaching regulations in the 2009 signing of Alejandro Faurlin. |
Can you summarize the given article? | Mr Pulma, a former policeman dressed elegantly in a slightly worn jacket and wearing a black hat, recalls the days when he was growing up in rural Bolivia: "I lived at the farm at which my parents worked and the owner threatened that if I went to school, he'd cut my tongue out."
But now things are different for Mr Pulma.
"These days, I can study and prove to people that I'm capable of doing anything," he says.
Mr Pulma is one of 39 elderly students in a literacy group in El Alto, Bolivia's second largest city.
Their group is part of the "Yes, I can" adult literacy campaign which was launched in Bolivia 10 years ago.
Most of the students are women over the age of 50 from a poor, rural background.
Officials say that it is thanks to the "Yes, I can" programme that illiteracy rates dropped from 13.28% in 2001 to 3.8% in 2014, when the last census was conducted.
This means that Bolivia is now among the countries considered to have eradicated illiteracy by Unesco's standards, which requires countries to maintain a rate of illiteracy of below 4%.
Bolivia's left-wing President, Evo Morales, had made eradicating illiteracy one of his main priorities when he came to office in 2006.
In order to achieve it, he turned to ideological allies Cuba and Venezuela for help.
Cuba helped with teachers and teaching materials and Venezuela provided financial assistance.
As the Bolivian government found the results to be positive at a relatively low cost of 18m bolivianos per year (£2m; $2.6m), it decided to go ahead with the second phase of the literacy programme, called "Yes, I can carry on".
In this second phase, the students who have spent three to six months learning to read and write spend another two years further deepening their knowledge of maths and literacy and the basics of natural sciences.
"Yes, I can" was originally developed in Cuba by educator Leonela Relys and relies on local facilitators to go into the communities to teach literacy with the help of audio visual aids.
The teacher is at the heart of the programme. Keyla Guzman Velez is one of them.
She lives with her husband and three-year-old son Josue next to Rodriguez market, the largest food market in La Paz.
Ms Guzman noticed that many of the women who spent long days working at the market could neither read nor write, never mind do simple maths.
She set out to teach them basic literacy but soon found that they were not willing to attend classes after work.
As most of the women started at 05:00 and did not finish before 19:00, there was just not enough time, they said.
Nor were they willing to leave their stalls where they just about made a living for any length of time.
Ms Guzman says she realised she would have to adapt to their needs if she were to succeed.
"You have to understand these women's routine. They get up at dawn, they often have to leave their children behind at home, then they work all day and when they get home they still have to do the housework."
So Ms Guzman asked each one of the women what would be the best time to stop by their stall and did a daily round of the market with a small whiteboard.
One of the women she teaches is Paulina Flores, 49.
"I've worked since I was eight years old," she explains. "My parents died when I was only a child and I had to go out and work hard every day until now."
"I only got a chance to study thanks to our teacher, who came to where we were," she adds.
The programme takes dedication. Students have to practise reading daily, as well as writing and doing simple sums.
In the "Yes, I can continue" course, students learn to understand longer texts and construct complex sentences as well as multiply and divide.
They are also taught basic geography, history and biology.
But Ms Flores says for her it is all worth it as she now hopes to be able to realise her childhood dream of going to university to study physiotherapy. | "Reading and writing were forbidden," says Quintim Pulma, 83. |
What is a brief summary of the information below? | The work, which has just been fully restored, is thought to have been painted by a Da Vinci assistant.
"I think what's important is it enables us to understand how Leonardo worked in his studio," said deputy director of conservation, Gabriele Finaldi.
The painting moves to the Louvre in Paris for an exhibition in March.
The original hangs in the Parisian gallery so this will allow visitors to compare the two works.
A black layer of paint on the Prado copy was removed as part of the restoration process - this revealed details in the landscape which experts say is evidence the replica was made at the same time Da Vinci painted the original.
The restoration process took two years.
Experts discovered that the Prado version was painted on a walnut panel. This wood was used for other small-format panels by Leonardo and his studio, including The Lady with the Ermine and Saint John the Baptist.
The high quality of the materials used in the creation of the Madrid version suggests that it was an important commission.
The Prado's Mona Lisa has been in the museum since it was opened in 1819.
The newly-revealed painting will be on display there until 13 March.
There are dozens of surviving Mona Lisa replicas from the 16th and 17th Centuries - when copying famous artworks was a thriving business.
The original painting, dating from the early 16th Century, is obscured by several layers of old, cracked varnish.
However, cleaning and restoration is thought to be too risky because the painting is fragile. | A copy of Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa, believed to have been painted at the same time as the original, has gone on display at Madrid's Prado museum. |
What is a brief summary of the information below? | Glasgow Warriors' Mark Bennett will make his debut at outside centre and Adam Ashe will play at number eight.
"We've selected a group we believe can do the job against Argentina," said head coach Vern Cotter.
"There is a genuine desire for this squad and those selected for the Test to play well for the jersey."
On 17 November 2013, Jonny Gray made his debut for Scotland against South Africa, replacing brother Richie just after the hour mark.
Ten of the starting XV are made up of players selected from Glasgow Warriors, who have started the PRO12 campaign in blistering form with only one loss in seven matches this season.
"We have several performance-related themes, and have looked for people who have the ability to control games, take initiative, can pick up the ball and run with it, who like physical confrontation and can keep the ball alive," said Cotter.
"These are things that we have prioritised in our selection and we're now all looking forward to getting out there and putting in a good performance in front of the Scottish people on Saturday."
On debutant Bennett, Cotter added: "I really appreciate what Mark has done because he has been very patient and has been developing his performances week in, week out for Glasgow Warriors.
"Patience and working hard is what you want from your players.
"You can see his determination in the way he breaks the line and scores tries. I'm really pleased he's developed that over the last couple of years and will now make his debut for his country, which is a very special achievement."
The Gray brothers will support an experienced front-row trio of Alasdair Dickinson, Ross Ford and Euan Murray, who share a total of 173 caps going into the game.
The forwards are completed by the back-row combination of flankers Rob Harley and Blair Cowan forming a unit with Ashe for the first time.
In the backs, all but one player - captain Greig Laidlaw - have been picked from the Warriors' attacking stable, with Finn Russell the half-back partner at stand-off, and Alex Dunbar starting alongside Bennett in midfield.
The back three of Stuart Hogg, Sean Maitland and Tommy Seymour in the wide channels complete the side.
Cotter reaffirmed his desire to empower his players' attacking form, adding: "When the players run out they'll do it with a lot of pride and a lot of respect.
"There will be a common cause to have the confidence to attack and take the initiative against Argentina, which is arguably the most improved country in the world.
"We'll try and put a cohesive effort out there technically and tactically, but I can assure you the players are, emotionally, very attached and are working extra hard to put in a good performance.
"So let's be strong, let's be passionate as we always are; play for the people that come to the stadium and the Scots in this country and around the world."

SNP minister Roseanna Cunningham attempted to lodge a legislative consent memorandum to give Holyrood a say on the Westminster bill.
After Presiding Officer Tricia Marwick rejected the motion, Ms Dugdale wrote to her urging her to change her mind.
Ms Dugdale's intervention was "warmly welcomed" by the Unite union.
The lodging of a legislative consent memorandum, a motion normally used to give Westminster permission to legislate on devolved matters, would have effectively given the Scottish Parliament a veto on the Trade Union Bill applying north of the border.
Ms Cunningham said there was "clear opposition" in Scotland to the bill, but Ms Marwick ruled that it did not infringe on devolved matters.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has campaigned alongside Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn at a rally in opposition to the bill in Glasgow.
Now Kezia Dugdale has voiced her opposition to the bill in a letter to Ms Marwick urging her to change her mind.
She said the "clearly expressed view of the vast majority of the democratically elected representatives in Holyrood" was that the bill is "wrong, unfair and must be opposed".
She added: "I think your ruling was wrong and would urge you to reassess the evidence and reach a different conclusion."
The Scottish government said it was looking at options for other ways to oppose the bill, which the UK government believes is necessary to end "endless" threats of industrial action.
The government wants to impose a minimum 50% turnout in strike ballots, with public sector strikes also requiring the backing of at least 40% of those eligible to vote.
Not all Scottish parties are opposed to the bill - Conservative MSP Murdo Fraser said it was "clearly" a reserved matter and said Holyrood "should not be duplicating the work of the House of Commons". | Hearts have confirmed the signing of Polish defender Krystian Nowak on a two-year deal.

She is suspected of making false statements under oath before a parliamentary committee in November 2015.

Ms Petry was instrumental in moving the AfD to the right after it was founded as an anti-euro movement. In 2016, amid the influx of migrants and refugees into Germany, she suggested that police should, "if necessary", shoot at migrants seeking to enter the country illegally.
In April she stepped back from the party leadership to have her fifth baby after losing an internal fight to steer the AfD towards a more moderate course. Controversially, she was then pictured with her baby in July in an AfD campaign poster. | A parliamentary committee in eastern Germany has called for Frauke Petry, one of the leaders of Germany's right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD), to lose her immunity from prosecution over allegations of perjury. |
Give a brief summary of the following article. | The new project, called Circular Ocean, will see ideas shared online on what to do with millions of tonnes of plastic.
Marine litter is already used in the making of socks, rucksacks, skateboards and sunglasses.
The Environmental Research Institute (ERI) of the North Highland College UHI is heading up Circular Ocean.
It is working with organisations in Ireland and England, as well as the Arctic Technology Centre in Greenland and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.
The project will focus on the recycling of waste from some of Europe's remotest coastlines.
Dr Neil James, of ERI, said "Virtually all plastic ever produced is still with us today, with more entering the seas each year to the detriment of fish, birds, turtles and marine mammals.
"If we utilise this so-called waste material for a new purpose we reduce the amount of new plastic created, reduce marine pollution, and encourage new green enterprises.
"Our aim in Circular Ocean is to facilitate this in the northern Europe and Arctic region." | A Thurso-based institute is leading an effort to encourage greater reuse of plastic waste found washed up on hard-to-reach European beaches. |

Give a short summary of the provided document. | The former Sunderland player denied four charges against him before admitting two of the offences on the first day of his trial.
Prosecutor Kate Blackwell QC accused him of "playing a game" with the court.
The 28-year-old denies two further counts of sexual activity with a child.
Mr Johnson was sacked by Sunderland after admitting the grooming and kissing offences, on 10 February.
Having been charged in April last year, Miss Blackwell suggested the winger's delay in recording a guilty plea furthered the girl's pain.
After being asked why he had not done so at an earlier hearing, Mr Johnson told the court: "It's the advice I was given at the time and I went along with that."
In cross-examination, Mr Johnson said he did not think of himself as an honourable man. He agreed he was arrogant and audacious and "lived the life of a celebrity".
The court heard he messaged the girl to say she "owed" him for signing a Sunderland shirt for her.
Miss Blackwell said: "You weren't suggesting that she owes you money, were you? You were suggesting that she owed you a favour. A sexual favour."
The prosecutor claimed Mr Johnson encouraged the girl to meet him for a "thank you kiss" in the hope it would encourage her to engage in sexual activity.
The star admitted he wanted to touch "private parts" of the girl's body but said the pair did nothing more than kiss.
When asked why, he said: "Because when I had my kiss I knew that it was wrong and I didn't want it to carry on any further."
The jury had earlier heard Mr Johnson's world was "turned upside down" when he was arrested.
Giving evidence, he said he "panicked" and was "in turmoil" during his police interview in March 2015.
The trial has heard the pair exchanged telephone numbers and messages for a number of weeks before meeting in January 2015.
He described how WhatsApp messages became "flirty" and "inappropriate" before a second meeting on 30 January.
Mr Johnson admitted he did not always answer some police questions entirely truthfully.
He said: "My world had got turned upside down and I was trying to play it down as much as I could."
When asked by Orlando Pownall QC, defending, about what state he was in during his first interview, Mr Johnson said: "I was panicking. I had all these thoughts going through my mind about everything. To name a couple, my career, my family, I was in turmoil."
The player said he was "surprised" the teenage girl had told police that further sexual activity had taken place.
He said: "I couldn't believe the things she was saying to police. I felt like someone else was telling her to say these things."
Mr Johnson told the court he did not try to feel her breasts or put his hands underneath her t-shirt.
Born in Sunderland, Mr Johnson began his career at Middlesbrough before moving to Manchester City and then on to Sunderland for £10m in 2012.

Labour's Mark Bradshaw received an email at 00:30 BST saying there was "no longer a place for you on my cabinet".
He said Mr Ferguson wanted to "get rid" of him because he is in the running to be Labour's mayoral candidate.
The mayor, who stands for re-election as an independent next year, said Mr Bradshaw was "playing party politics".
The row between the two continued on Twitter.
The Bristol Port Company bought the port from the council in 1991 and agreed a 150-year lease on the understanding it could buy the freehold at a later date.
But the council has agreed to sell it, despite opposition from councillors who had asked Mr Ferguson to reconsider his decision at a cabinet meeting on Tuesday.
The mayor told the BBC that Mr Bradshaw had "turned up at the last minute" with a prepared statement on the port sale explaining why he had "changed his mind".
He accused Mr Bradshaw of having "started to use the cabinet and his position as a political stage for his own ambition".
But Mr Bradshaw said he had been "raising questions right from the start" about the sale of the freehold.
These included where much of the £10m raised will be spent and "uncertainty" about whether the Henbury Loop - a rail line used for freight which campaigners hope will open for passenger use - could co-exist with an expanded port.
The Bedminster councillor said: "I think it's politically motivated. I think the mayor's been looking for a reason to get rid of me because I'm a potential challenger next year."
Mr Bradshaw's responsibilities for transport and regeneration will be taken on by fellow assistant mayor, Liberal Democrat councillor Simon Cook.

Write a summary for the following excerpt. | The attack took place in the Sabaa al-Bour area, about 30km (20 miles) north of Baghdad.
At least 25 people were wounded in the attack, which targeted evening prayers.
There has been a surge in sectarian attacks in recent months on targets like mosques, restaurants and local markets.
The suicide bombing came after three other attacks in the north of Iraq killed a further nine people.
The violence has rekindled fears the country is being dragged towards a wider conflict between the Shia majority and the Sunni minority.
Sunnis have accused the government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki of discriminating against them - a claim the government denies.
Last month was the bloodiest in Iraq since June 2008, with 1,045 civilians and security officials killed.
Residents of Onoway, Alberta, complained to the town office when taps began running pink water on Monday.
In a statement, Mayor Dale Krasnow said there was no public health risk but the town "could have done a better job communicating what was going on".
The mayor said it was the unfortunate side-effect of a common water-treatment chemical, potassium permanganate.
The chemical is commonly used to remove iron and hydrogen sulphide from water, and the town office said it got into the reservoir when a valve malfunctioned during "normal line flushing and filter backwashing".
"The reservoir was drained, however some of the chemical still made it into the distribution system.
"While it is alarming to see pink water coming from your taps, potassium permanganate is used in normal treatment processes to help remove iron and manganese and residents were never at risk."
The chemical can cause skin irritation, according to the World Health Organization, but there were no reports of any adverse effects.
Complaints were more about being kept in the dark - residents said they were annoyed they were not told why the water was fluorescent pink until Tuesday morning.
"This is a situation we can certainly learn from and develop a strategy for better response and communication should we ever face the same or similar situation in the future," the mayor said.
Chief executive Carlos Ghosn said the firm would need "compensation" for tax barriers that might result from Britain leaving the European Union.
Nissan's plant in Sunderland produces about a third of the UK's car output.
The comments come amid warnings from the UK car industry about the risk of EU tariffs from Brexit.
"If I need to make an investment in the next few months and I can't wait until the end of Brexit, then I have to make a deal with the UK government," Mr Ghosn, who also runs France's Renault, said at the Paris Motor Show.
"You can have commitments of compensation in case you have something negative," he said.
Nissan is due to decide early next year on where to build its next Qashqai sport utility vehicle.
The plant at Sunderland is Nissan's biggest factory in Europe, employs 6,700 people and has the capacity to produce around 500,000 cars per year.
"We would like to stay. We're happy, we have a good plant, which is productive but we cannot stay if the conditions do not justify that we stay," he added.
Mr Ghosn told the BBC that the Sunderland plant would "lose competitiveness" if Brexit meant the UK had to pay 10% tariffs to import into the EU.
The International Trade Secretary, Liam Fox, said on Thursday it was in other countries' interests to avoid tariffs which he said would "harm the people of Europe".
In 2015, around 1.59 million cars were manufactured in Britain with 80% of them for exports - mostly to European countries. The industry employs around 800,000 people.
In a separate call for action on Brexit, Japanese carmaker Honda on Thursday urged the British government to take "a fast decision".

Give a short summary of the provided document. | The men were arrested shortly before the beginning of the Games, in August, after the FBI alerted the Brazilian authorities.
They are all Brazilian nationals.
The ringleader, Leonid El Kadre de Melo, has been given a prison sentence of 15 years.
His lawyer said her client was on hunger strike.
The other men have been jailed for five to six years. All say they will appeal.
The group had been sharing extremist material online and via messaging apps pledging alliance to IS, said judge Marcos Josegrei da Silva, in Parana state.
El Kadre de Melo was "without a shadow of a doubt the person who took over the role of leader amongst the accused," Mr Silva wrote in his ruling.
The eight men were not IS members but had tried to make contact with the group, officials said.
Their activities had been monitored by the FBI.
Two weeks before the Rio Games the FBI alerted Brazilian authorities, who later said the men had been trying to buy weapons and had shared bomb-making videos.
Federal police launched Operation Hashtag in July and arrested a total of 15 people.
Seven of the suspects were later released but the other eight were tried under Brazil's new anti-terrorism legislation for planning to carry out chemical attacks during the Olympics.

Faceshift, a Zurich based start-up, specialises in software that allows 3D animated characters to mimic the facial expressions of an actor.
Apple has now bought the company, though it is not known how much the deal cost the tech giant.
It is also unclear what Apple's plans are for the company following its acquisition.
A spokesman said: "Apple buys smaller technology companies from time to time, and we generally do not discuss our purpose or plans."
Faceshift's motion-capture technology has already been used in the film and video game industries and was recently spotted in a behind-the-scenes video for the new Star Wars film.
There has been some speculation online that the acquisition could be part of an initiative from Apple to launch a virtual-reality product in the near future.
Such thinking is not new. Fortune reported in August that an analyst at Piper Jaffray suspected such a strategy after citing - for example - Apple's $32m (£21m) acquisition of the engineering team at Metaio, a company with several VR patents.
However, Piers Harding-Rolls, an analyst and gaming specialist at IHS, told the BBC he did not believe the Faceshift purchase suggested a virtual reality endeavour.
"This acquisition fits in with some of Apple's most recent deals which have centred on machine learning and related technologies such as voice recognition, augmented reality and artificial intelligence," he said.
Mr Harding-Rolls said the move could just as easily go on to benefit communication apps such as Facetime or the development of a facial recognition security feature. | A judge in Brazil has jailed eight men for plotting attacks during the 2016 Rio Olympics last year and for using the internet to promote the Islamic State (IS) militant group.

"On Christmas Day alone last year, there were 79 recorded incidents and on Boxing Day, there were 111," Mr Clarke said.
The officer, who is head of the PSNI's Public Protection Branch, described the figures as "shocking".
"It is also important to remember that all year round, police officers respond to an incident of domestic abuse every 19 minutes," Mr Clarke said.

Labour and the Lib Dems suffered losses but UKIP won control of its first council in Thanet, Kent, where Nigel Farage failed in his bid to become MP.
The Green Party also fared well, winning seven seats in Bristol and overtaking the Liberal Democrats there.
About 9,200 seats were up for grabs in 279 metropolitan, district and unitary authorities across England, excluding London. The last time they were contested was in 2011.
Counting began on Friday, after general election results were declared, and continued on Saturday.
By late evening, the state of play was:
A handful of councils still have to declare.
The Conservatives have consolidated their position in the south of England and the Midlands, making gains in areas where they did well in Thursday's general election.
They took control of Amber Valley, North Warwickshire and Gravesham from Labour and Hinckley and Bosworth from the Liberal Democrats.
They now have a majority of seats in councils such as Staffordshire Moorlands, Wyre Forest and Newark and Sherwood where no party previously exercised control.
The Conservatives won seven seats in Telford and Wrekin, in the wake of their surprise victory in the Telford parliamentary seat on Friday. They have also assumed control of Scarborough and Waveney councils.
Labour, on the other hand, suffered reverses in the Midlands, losing seven seats in Stoke-on-Trent - which moved from a Labour majority to no overall control - and four in Dudley. However, they are now in the majority in Stockton-on-Tees and West Lancashire, having previously been the largest party.
They also gained Cheshire West from the Conservatives.
The Lib Dems lost more than 300 seats, losing control of South Somerset, Three Rivers and Watford to no overall control - mirroring setbacks in those areas in the general election.
The party also lost six seats on Bristol Council and were leapfrogged by the Green Party into third place.
UKIP deputy chairman Suzanne Evans said she was "beyond delighted" with the party's first win in Thanet District Council.
Nigel Farage resigned as party leader after Conservative Craig Mackinlay beat him to the parliamentary seat of Thanet South.
Elsewhere, UKIP made headway in the north of England. In Rotherham, where the party has campaigned heavily in recent months, it picked up three seats.
It also won seven seats in Thurrock in Essex, where it failed narrowly to win the parliamentary seat.
A series of mayoral contests have also been decided, with former Labour MP Sir Peter Soulsby retaining Leicester, Lib Dem Dave Hodgson winning in Bedford and Labour's David Budd winning in Middlesbrough.

What is a brief summary of the information below? | The Local Government Association says councils are now providing temporary housing for 120,540 children with their families.
It says the growth rate - equivalent to an extra secondary school's worth of children per month - is unsustainable.
The government said the figures were a worry but still below the peak of 2006.
Based on the latest figures from the Department for Communities and Local Government from March 2017, the figures show a net increase of 32,650 (37%) since the second quarter of 2014 - an average of 906 extra children every month - just 40 fewer than the number of pupils in the average secondary school.
Councils say the net cost of providing temporary accommodation has tripled in the last three years, as the extra demand for places increases pressure on local government.
And the LGA, which represents 350 councils in England, says councils need to be able to build more genuinely affordable homes and provide the support that reduces the risk of homelessness in the first place.
This means councils being able to borrow to build and to keep 100% of the receipts of any home they sell to reinvest in new and existing housing.
Council leaders are also calling for an adaption to the implementation of welfare reforms to reduce the risk of homelessness and for access to funding to provide settled accommodation for families that become homeless.
Councillor Martin Tett, the association's housing spokesman, said: "Whilst the government's indication [that] it will explore ways to enable councils to build more homes is encouraging, these new homes can't appear overnight, and the demand is urgent.
"Councils are working hard to tackle homelessness, with some truly innovative work around the country - and we now need the government to support this local effort by allowing councils to invest in building genuinely affordable homes and taking steps to adapt welfare reforms to ensure housing remains affordable for low-income families."
The LGA sets out the lengths that councils are going to in order to tackle homelessness in their area in a new report.
Examples include innovative modular housing, dynamic purchasing systems and offers of housing in private rented sector.
A DCMG spokesman said: "We're clear that whilst temporary accommodation is vital in making sure that no family is without a roof over their head, councils have a responsibility to find secure good quality accommodation as quickly as possible.
"This government is determined to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping - that's why we're investing £550m to help tackle the issue."
In 1998, something called the Good Friday agreement was signed.

The charges relate to the period between April and August 2011.
Leeds Crown Court heard the trial would last six weeks.
Ex-principal Mr Raza, of Spring Gardens Road, Bradford, faces three charges of fraud, three of false accounting, two of obtaining a money transfer by deception and one of fraud by false representation.
Former head of department Ms Hussain, of Wilmer Road, Bradford, is charged with one offence of fraud by abuse of position and one offence of acquiring criminal property.
Ex-director of finance Mr Khan, of Thornhill Place, Thornbury, is charged with two offences of fraud by abuse of position and three offences of false accounting.
All three are accused of abusing their positions as officers of the academy by making a series of unauthorised and unlawful payments into the personal bank accounts of Mr Raza and Ms Hussain from a grant provided to the school by the Department for Education.
No pleas were entered at the hearing on Friday.

Can you provide a brief summary for this document? | In its filing, the company said it was seeking to raise $1bn (£589m). But that figure is seen just as an estimate to calculate various fees.
Analysts expect it to raise more than $15bn and top Facebook's share sale.
Alibaba did not disclose details of the number of shares it intends to sell or their price range.
It also did not reveal which US exchange - the Nasdaq or New York Stock Exchange - it is looking to list its shares on.
Founded 15 years ago by Jack Ma, the firm has been a dominant force in e-commerce in China and is now the biggest online retailer in the country.
While it has been a key player in the sector for many years, its filing gave investors the first glimpse at the firm's finances.
The firm generated revenues of 40.5bn yuan ($6.5bn; £3.8bn) in the nine months to the end of December 2013, making a net profit of $2.9bn.
The documents reveal that last year, the value of all merchandise sold on Alibaba's various platforms was $248bn, with more than 11.3 billion orders placed.
The total value of merchandise sold on its platforms last year was more than that sold on Amazon and eBay combined.
In a nod to the importance of smartphones, the firm said it was responsible for 72% of mobile commerce in China.
That is important as Alibaba has been locked in competition recently with rival Tencent - China's largest internet firm - to attract mobile shoppers.
Analysts said there was likely to be keen interest in the share sale as investors hope the firm will be able to replicate its success in China on a global scale.
"If it is able to transport that kind of power to outside China, it has the potential to become a true global e-commerce powerhouse," said Roger Entner, lead analyst and founder of Recon Analytics.
Among the major shareholders set to benefit from the listing are US technology giant Yahoo and Japan's Softbank.
Yahoo owns a 22.6% stake in the firm, while Softbank owns 34% of the company.
Yahoo had paid $1bn for a 40% stake in Alibaba in 2005.
It sold half of that stake back to Alibaba in May 2012 for $7.1bn. That deal saw the Chinese firm pay Yahoo $6.3bn in cash and up to $800m in Alibaba's preferred stock.
According to an agreement between the two firms, Yahoo has to either sell a part of its remaining stake in Alibaba back to the Chinese firm ahead of the share sale, or include its shares in those being sold to investors.
SoftBank will continue to own more than 30% stake in Alibaba after the listing.
Alibaba's various other operations include a cloud computing business and a group buying website.
Its online payments processing network, Alipay, was spun off in 2011 and is not a part of the listing.
The filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission is just the first step in what is expected to be a process that will take several months before Alibaba's stock listing. | Chinese internet giant Alibaba has filed documents for a public share sale in the US, which is widely expected to be one of the biggest in history. |
Summarize the information in the following section. | Mercedes team-mates Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg have dominated the last two years, winning 32 of the 38 races.
But Mercedes engine boss Andy Cowell said: "Nobody here is assuming we are going to win.
"Everybody here is assuming we're going to get beaten by Ferrari, and Honda are a big threat."
Cowell described Ferrari's progress with their engine in 2015 as "remarkable" - Sebastian Vettel won three races after a winless 2014 for the team.
Hamilton won 10 grands prix on his way to his second world title, with Rosberg taking six.
Honda struggled badly on their return to F1 last season, McLaren lagging about 2.5 seconds off the pace for much of the season largely as a result of deficiencies in the engine.
But Cowell said this was partly a result of the Japanese company having had less development time than the companies who competed in 2014.
"They have come in quickly and they are learning in front of the public but they're hugely determined, and partnered with McLaren, who are hugely determined.
"We know exactly how McLaren work in terms of a data-driven approach, so they are going to make some big, big gains."
Mercedes supplied engines to McLaren from 1995 to 2014, and were their works engine partner until the car company established its own team in 2010.
The Mercedes engine has set the standard in F1 since the introduction of turbo hybrid engines in 2014, although Ferrari progressed last season to the point at which their engine was almost a match.
But Cowell said there was no sign of the world champions running out of ideas to improve their engine.
"We've made some good gains over the past two years," he said. "I don't see that stopping. I don't think anybody here sees that we have reached the limit."
Cowell said the pursuit of performance in F1 was leading the engine companies to make huge strides in efficiency that would transfer directly to road cars.
The F1 engine regulations revolve around two different kinds of fuel limit - a maximum allowance and a maximum fuel-flow rate.
These, Cowell said, had led to "mind-blowing" gains in thermal efficiency - the measure of how much of the energy in the fuel is converted into power from the engine.
He said the previous F1 engines used until 2013, which were 2.4-litre naturally aspirated V8s, had a thermal efficiency of 29% - about the same as a road-going petrol. A road-car diesel engine is in the region of 38% efficiency.
The thermal efficiency of the F1 turbo hybrids was more than 45%, Cowell said, and greater than 50% when the application of the energy regenerated by the hybrid system from the turbo and rear axle was taken into account.
"Thermal efficiency went up for '15 and perhaps it's going to go up in 2016 and it's definitely going to go up in the future," he said.
"Where we're at with our thermal efficiency is mind-blowing when you step back and look at it," he said. "And if we can apply that to the road-car world without losing that high efficiency, it will be tremendous."
The big caveat, he pointed out, is that the road-car drive cycle is different to what drivers do in F1 cars.
"We drive to the shops. None of us stays full throttle all the way up to the corner and then brakes at 5G," he said.
"But the step gains are considerable and they are greater than we are seeing in the road-car world even today." | World champions Mercedes are expecting a serious challenge from Ferrari this season and also say McLaren-Honda are a "big threat". |
What is the summary of the following document? | Carried out for conservation group WWF, a report highlights a "new wave" of organised wildlife crime by armed groups operating across borders.
It says funds from trafficking are being used to finance civil conflicts.
The study comes as Malaysian officials captured about 20 tonnes of ivory in one of the biggest seizures ever made.
In pictures: Wildlife crime
According to Jim Leape, WWF International director general, the report underlines the fact that wildlife crime has escalated drastically over the past decade and now posed a greater threat than ever.
"This is about much more than wildlife," he told a news conference. "This crisis is threatening the very stability of governments. It has become a profound threat to national security."
Rebel militia groups in Africa are cashing in on demand for elephants, tigers and rhinos to fund civil conflicts, said John Scanlon, secretary general of Cites, the organisation that governs the trade in endangered species.
"We saw earlier this year with rebel groups coming from Chad and Sudan going into northern Cameroon slaughtering 450 elephants, taking the ivory for the purpose of selling it in order to buy arms for local conflicts" he said.
He added that there had been similar issues in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
This view was echoed by Christian Glass, spokesman for the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development.
"The new wave of organised wildlife trade crime with heavily armed groups of poachers acting cross-borders is jeopardising conservation successes we've had in the past," he said.
The report suggests that the illicit sale of animals and plants is the world's fourth largest illegal trade after narcotics, counterfeiting of products and currency and the trafficking of people.
It says that two factors were spurring the growth of the trade. The first was the absence of credible law enforcement and other deterrents that reduced the risk to organised criminal groups. The second was increased accessibility of illegal products via the internet.
Just before the report was released, customs officials in Malaysia announced that they had made a huge seizure of ivory.
According to reports by Traffic, the shipment was en route to China from Togo and comprised some 1,500 pieces of tusks.
How to get up close to a white rhino
Could legalising horn trade save rhinos?
They were discovered in wooden crates that were deliberately designed to look like stacks of sawn timber.
Early estimates suggested the shipment was more than 20 tonnes in total. If this is confirmed it would be one of the biggest seizures in history.
According to Will Travers, chief executive of Born Free Foundation, up to 30,000 elephants a year were being killed to fuel demand driven largely by China.
"No part of Africa is now safe," he said.
"Across the continent, for the first time, the number of carcasses recorded as a result of poaching exceeds the number reportedly dying from natural causes."
"The bloody ivory trade has reached new heights of destruction and depravity in 2012."
Capturing that many tusks at one time is a rare piece of good news for those involved in the fight against trafficking.
Greater international co-operation is needed according to the WWF report as is the better use of intelligence and investigative techniques. But there also has to be a tougher response from the authorities in the countries most affected, said John Scanlon.
"We need to deploy the police and in a number of cases we need to deploy the military" he said, adding that the army was now being used to fight the illegal trade in species in five African countries.
The report was based on consultations and interviews with representatives from more than 110 governments and international organisations. | The global illegal trade in wildlife is worth $19bn (£12bn) a year and is threatening the stability of some governments according to new research. |
Can you summarize this passage? | The five locations are on a shortlist for the title, but six other bidding towns and cities missed out.
The five left in the race will hope to emulate the success of Hull, which is UK City of Culture this year.
The title is awarded every four years and the winner for 2021 will be the third UK City of Culture.
It's the birthplace of Philip Larkin, one of England's finest poets, and the home of the 2 Tone ska movement through bands like The Specials and The Selecter.
Venues would include Warwick Arts Centre, the Belgrade Theatre and the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum. It's not just about the existing culture - it is, as the bid organisers say, "about changing the reputation of a city".
This Renfrewshire town, population 76,000, is perhaps most famous for the Paisley print - the intricate, colourful designs that were inspired by Kashmiri patterns in the 18th Century and popularised in the psychedelic 1960s.
It was also home to Gerry Rafferty, known for his hit Baker Street. Former Doctor Who star David Tennant grew up in the city, while Paolo Nutini's dad runs a fish and chip cafe there. There are plans for Paisley Museum to have a £42m revamp - though it's not due to reopen until 2022.
Stoke is most famous as the capital of the English ceramics industry, which it is trying to revive, with designers like Emma Bridgewater there and Keith Brymer Jones from the BBC's Great Pottery Throwdown about to move into the old Spode factory.
It can also claim Robbie Williams, the Staffordshire Hoard - a treasure trove of Anglo-Saxon gold - and, in nearby Newcastle-under-Lyme, the pioneering New Vic theatre.
Sunderland's claims to fame range from Middle Ages chronicler Venerable Bede and England's first ever stained glass window to a fertile indie music scene that spawned bands like Frankie and the Heartstrings and The Futureheads.
It also has The National Glass Centre, the Northern Gallery of Contemporary Art and Sunderland Empire. And a new £10m cultural quarter is in development, including a music and arts hub in the old fire station.
Swansea Bay was on the shortlist last time and the city has now come back again.
It is the home of poet Dylan Thomas - as well as a permanent exhibition that opened on his 100th birthday in 2014 - not to mention Catherine Zeta Jones and TV writer Russell T Davies.
Its Glynn Vivian Art Gallery reopened last year after a £6m facelift, and the council says being City of Culture would kick-start its longer-term plans for "culture-led regeneration".
The places that didn't make the shortlist include Perth, which had been the bookmakers' favourite.
All the bidding cities are particularly keen to win the title after seeing the example of what's been achieved in Hull.
Recent research suggests nine out of 10 local residents experienced a City of Culture event in the first three months of the year, while being City of Culture has boosted the local economy by an estimated £60m.
Arts minister John Glen said: "The strength of the competition showed us how valuable our cultural assets are to our towns, boosting tourism and jobs in local communities.
"I have seen first hand how Hull has embraced its status as City of Culture 2017, and how beneficial it has been for the area. I am looking forward to seeing what will come in 2021."
The UK City of Culture scheme is separate from the European Capital of Culture, a title shared this year by Aarhus in Denmark and Paphos in Cyprus.
A British city is expected to be European Capital of Culture in 2023 - despite Brexit - with Leeds, Dundee and Milton Keynes among those interested.

Nikki Scott, from Walpole St Andrews, Norfolk, is the widow of Cpl Lee Scott, 26, from the 2nd Royal Tank Regiment, whose vehicle was blown up.
"The strangest thing was being told this horrendous thing had happened, that he wouldn't be coming home, and yet there was no evidence of Lee: no coffee cup from the morning, no toothbrush - it was like he was still on tour.
"Telling Kai, five at the time, was so hard. I sat him on the bed, I said, 'Daddy can't come home from Afghanistan now Kai, and he has gone to heaven.'
"Later that day... he was on the trampoline with Lee's mate Chris, when he asked, 'What's heaven?'
"We told him it was an amazing place and that Daddy had gone there on a rocket.
"A few weeks later, we were all packed, waiting for our visiting officer to take us to King's Lynn for the funeral, when I went into Kai's room, he said, 'I'm looking for my screwdriver.'
"I asked, 'What for?'
And he said, 'What if Daddy's rocket gets broken?'
"His funeral was packed. Kai and Brooke came in the car with me, Kai said, 'Why are all these people here?'
I said, 'Because Daddy's a hero.'
"Nine months after Lee died, I went on holiday to Turkey with the kids.
"One day, Kai was in the pool and was laughing.
"I thought how long it had been since I'd seen him laugh and wondered how many other kids who'd lost their daddies or loved ones in battle were out there who needed to smile again.

"James explained about his deployment, 'Mum, I have my brothers in the Army, we work in a chain.
"'If I don't go, there's a link missing.'
"We hugged and said we loved each other, and then he was gone.
"I'm just so glad we got to have that conversation.
"I was plunged into hell.
"I just wanted James - to smell him, touch him.
"The pain was unbearable.
"When his stuff came back in a cardboard box from the Army, his boots were on top.

Toni O'Donnell is the widow of Warrant Officer class 2 Gary 'Gaz' O'Donnell, 40, George Medal and bar, from 11 Explosive Ordnance Disposal Regiment Royal Logistic Corps, killed in 2008, in Helmand.
"'I defuse bombs,' Gary told me when we first met in a pub in Leamington Spa[, Warwickshire,] in 1995, and I thought, 'Yeah, course you do.'
"I knew exactly what I was getting into when I married him in 1998, but he was always so confident.
"'Don't worry about me,' he'd say, 'I'll be fine.'
"He was Gary, larger than life, the big, brave lion.
"Gary was so tired.
"He never complained, but you could see it in his face.
"Sometimes he was out for hours on his own doing really technical work in the heat and in terrible conditions in Afghanistan, defusing roadside bombs, and it had aged him.

Provide a brief summary of this section. | On-loan forward Odsonne Edouard, 19, will be sent back to parent club Paris-St Germain, after he was questioned by police about the incident.
Team-mate Mathieu Cafaro, 20, was with him at the time "and will be sacked too", the club's president said.
The alleged victim has said he was shot in the ear with a pellet when a car pulled up by him as he was out walking.
Edouard was questioned by police after his car number plate was identified on CCTV footage.
Midfielder Cafaro later said he had fired the shot, according to Edouard's lawyer, quoted by AFP news agency.
"What Odsonne did is inadmissible, scandalous behaviour. For one he won't play again for us and secondly we're sending him back to Paris St-Germain," Toulouse president Olivier Sadran told RMC radio.

What is the summary of the given information? | But the PM said the US president's state visit would still go ahead.
Mr Khan, the mayor of London, has called for it to be cancelled - as has Lib Dem leader Tim Farron.
Mr Trump attacked Mr Khan on Twitter after the mayor told Londoners not to be alarmed about an increased police presence following Saturday's attack.
The London mayor said Mr Trump was wrong about "many things" and that his state visit, expected to take place later this year, should not go ahead.
Mrs May, who had previously stopped short of criticising the US president's comments, said: "I think Donald Trump was wrong in the things he has said about Sadiq Khan... we have been working with Sadiq Khan - party politics are put to one side - we work together."
She replied "yes" when asked if Mr Trump's official trip to Britain would go ahead.
The PM also emphasised the importance to UK security of the special relationship.
Seven people were killed and 48 injured when three men drove a van into pedestrians and stabbed people in bars in the London Bridge and Borough Market areas of the capital on Saturday night.
Speaking in the aftermath of the attack, Mr Khan said there were no words to describe the "grief and anger" the city was feeling, before saying: "Londoners will see an increased police presence today and over the course of the next few days. No reason to be alarmed."
The US president criticised Mr Khan for this on Twitter, saying: "At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is 'no reason to be alarmed!'"
A spokesman for Mr Khan responded, saying he had "more important things to do" than respond to Donald Trump's "ill-informed tweet" that "deliberately" took his remarks "out of context".
But Mr Trump tweeted again on Monday, saying: "Pathetic excuse by London Mayor Sadiq Khan who had to think fast on his "no reason to be alarmed" statement. MSM [mainstream media] is working hard to sell it!"
Mr Khan said he didn't think the UK should "roll out the red carpet to the president of the USA in the circumstances where his policies go against everything we stand for".
Mr Farron has labelled Mr Trump "an embarrassment to America", and his Lib Dem foreign affairs spokesman Tom Brake added: "Theresa May has allowed Donald Trump 24 hours to bully the mayor of London. It isn't good enough."
Earlier Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson - who is also a former London mayor - defended Mr Khan, saying he had been "entirely right to say what he said to reassure people of his city about the presence of armed officers on the streets".
But he told the Today programme the state visit invitation had been issued and accepted and he saw "no reason to change that".
White House adviser Sebastian Gorka defended the president's comments, saying he was making a "very valid point".
He told BBC Newsnight: "We have to jettison political correctness. We have to apply honesty to the threat and saying, 'It's just business as usual, don't worry about a thing', [is] a Pollyannaish attitude to a threat that has killed 170 people in the last two years in Europe alone and maimed more than 700."
He insisted there was no chance the state visit would be cancelled, saying: "If anybody thinks that a state visit is held hostage to Twitter then they have no understanding of the relationship between London and Washington."
Mr Khan and the US president have clashed several times in the past, with the London mayor criticising Mr Trump's remarks about Muslims and his attempts to bring in a travel ban against people from six mainly-Muslim countries trying to enter the US, and Mr Trump labelling him a "buffoon" and challenging him to an IQ test.

Scores from Danny Houghton, Scott Taylor, Gareth Ellis and Jamie Shaul established Hull's first-half cushion.
Luke Walsh reduced Saints' deficit after the break to add to Mark Percival and Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook's tries.
However, the visitors pulled clear with Curtis Naughton, Kirk Yeaman, Scott Taylor and Fetuli Talanoa scores.
Marc Sneyd was on target with 15 points from the boot.
Saints have a remarkable record when the year ends in six, winning in five of the past six decades, but that quirk was not to be continued as Hull continued their dual push for honours in 2016.
The home side reached the semi-finals last season but failed to match Hull throughout.
Ruck-speed, powerful forwards, ruthlessness with field position and the accuracy of Sneyd's kicking helped the Airlie Birds to dominate the game for large periods, despite conceding the opening tries of each half.
St Helens captain Jon Wilkin told BBC Sport:
"Hull outperformed us in most facets of the game, it's disappointing, it's a big game and we haven't produced.
"You can win game without possession, and whatever through penalties, poor kicking, ill-discipline or dropped-ball we gifted them.
"I thought we were terrible from the start today and without being cynical about the performance, we talked a good game all week and we haven't delivered."
Hull FC head coach Lee Radford told BBC Sport:
"It was massive effort, the conditions, the heat played a major factor but we completed at a high really high percentage which is something we've done all year so long may that continue.
"The boys did good, we made the boys [Frank Pritchard and Sika Manu - away on international duty] a promise we'd be in the draw and they've come good on that promise.
"Marc Sneyd's been fantastic over the past six games, he's leading us around the park really well and he's got one of the best kicking games in the competition.
"For a club of our size and history not to have won at Wembley is a bitter pill to swallow, but we're through and we look forward to whoever we come up against."

Can you write a brief summary of this passage? | The Environment Agency said tests will determine whether crayfish plague was responsible for losses at Nailsworth in Gloucestershire, Redlake in Shropshire and Wyre Forest in Worcestershire.
The disease only harms native crayfish and has spread from American signal crayfish in nearby streams.
It may have arrived via water and mud on boots, bike tyres or fishing tackle.
The discoveries of dead crustaceans were made following reports in late August and early September.
The agency is asking visitors to avoid walking or riding through streams in the three areas and to thoroughly clean boots and any other equipment that has been near streams or banks.

The native white-clawed crayfish is among the top 10 most endangered species in the UK and is legally protected, the agency said.
"Early indication suggest that crayfish plague is the most likely explanation, we are waiting for confirmation of the test results from CEFAS (Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science)," a spokesman said.
"This is a species specific disease and presents no risk to human or other animal health.
"Crayfish plague is spread, principally, by American signal crayfish.
"Crayfish plague spores can be spread on damp equipment. Spores can last up to 22 days on fishing tackle, footwear, clothing or sports equipment."

As well as the marine wildlife viewing platform, it would feature a restaurant and art exhibition space.
The announcement came after tens of thousands of people turned out at funerals for dozens of protesters shot dead on Friday.
Earlier, Yemen's ambassador to the UN became the latest official to resign in protest at the killings.
At least 45 people were killed on Friday after gunmen in civilian clothes fired on an anti-government rally.
Despite firing his government, President Saleh has asked the cabinet to remain in place until a new one could be appointed, Yemen's official news agency reported.
President Saleh has faced a string of resignations over Friday's crackdown, which have caused widespread anger in Yemen.
The resignation by Yemen's ambassador to the UN, Abdullah Alsaidi, followed those of the ministers for human rights and tourism, several senior ruling party officials, the head of the state news agency, and the Yemeni ambassador to Lebanon.
Protests: Country by country
Mourners in the capital, Sanaa, gathered on Sunday in a square near Sanaa University.
The university was at the centre of Friday's crackdown, and bodies of many of the victims were laid out as people paid their respects.
Opposition parties joining the procession said they had changed their position from a demand for political reform to a demand of President Saleh's departure, the Associated Press news agency reported.
"This is an acknowledgment of the failure of the security in repressing the revolution, and the crowds that came out today are a signal of the readiness to put forth more sacrifices," said opposition spokesman Mohammed al-Sabry.
Demonstrations were also reported in several other regions.
President Saleh declared a state of emergency following Friday's shootings, which he denied had been carried out by his security forces.
But opposition accused the president of presiding over a "massacre".
President Saleh has been in power for 32 years. He has recently been challenged by a separatist movement in the south, a branch of al-Qaeda, and a periodic conflict with Shia tribes in the north.

Summarize the following content briefly. | The former Wall Street financier had drawn criticism after calling a reporter to give a profanity-laced tirade against his colleagues.
Mr Trump's chief of staff Reince Priebus and spokesman Sean Spicer both left their posts with his appointment.
The decision was made by Mr Trump's new chief of staff, Gen John Kelly, who was sworn in on Monday.
The president was also unhappy with Mr Scaramucci's performance, the White House confirmed.
Mr Trump's spokeswoman, Sarah Sanders, said the president thought Mr Scaramucci's comments to the reporter "were inappropriate for a person in that position".
He has not been moved to another White House role, she added.
Mr Trump had tweeted in the morning about job and wage figures, and insisted there is "No WH chaos", referring to reports about fighting among White House staff.
Mr Scaramucci had boasted of reporting directly to the president, rather than to his chief of staff.
Gen Kelly, who had formerly served as secretary of homeland security, was sworn in on Monday morning at the White House.
By Anthony Zurcher, BBC News, Washington
Staff in this White House have the job life expectancy of mayflies. Only 10 days ago, Mr Scaramucci burst on to the scene as the fast-talking New Yorker whose fanatical devotion to the president was matched only by his distaste for the established order.
Although his job tenure was short, he managed to do a lot of order-disrupting. Press Secretary Sean Spicer resigned to give Mr Scaramucci a "clean slate". Then, like a heat-seeking missile powered by foul language, Mr Scaramucci went after Reince Priebus, who was unceremoniously cashiered on Friday.
Now it is Mr Scaramucci's turn to wipe down the slate.
If Mr Scaramucci's exit was indeed orchestrated by John Kelly, it could be an indication that the former general is quickly asserting control over what has been a rancorous White House.
Perhaps it is the first sign of order being established, even if the brevity of Mr Scaramucci's tenure - he wasn't officially set to begin until 15 August - will be a short-term embarrassment for the president.
Then again, it could be that the pace of change is quickening as the Trump administration approaches the centre of the vortex. Only time will tell.
End of Twitter post by @Scaramucci
The resignation of Reince Priebus came on Friday after Mr Scaramucci posted and then deleted a tweet which many interpreted as an accusation and a threat against Mr Priebus.
Mr Scaramucci also called a reporter to attack Mr Priebus as a "paranoid schizophrenic" and accuse him of leaking information to the media.
During the on-the-record phone call, he also made vulgar statements about chief strategist Steve Bannon.
He also pledged to fire every member of the communications team, as part of his crusade against "leakers".
The carnival, which has been organised by Reading's Caribbean community since 1977, was due to take place on Sunday.
Reading Borough Council said it discovered in February the committee's chairwoman had resigned and has had no response to its inquiries.
In 2013, the carnival was cancelled due to lack of resources. Organisers have not yet responded to the BBC.
Last year, organisers cut the carnival back, limiting it to four floats in the parade and no costumes.
A previous highlight in Reading's event calendar, the carnival attracted up to 5,000 people in past years.
Yvonne Fitzgerald, editor of the Reading Caribbean Express magazine, said she was "disappointed for the people who started this event with the hope that it would continue in growth for the local Caribbean people of Reading".
She added "an official apology to the Caribbean people of Reading is the least" the committee could do.
A Reading Borough Council spokesman said the carnival was "an important event in Reading's cultural calendar which the council has supported since it began in 1977 to celebrate the Silver Jubilee".
"The council wrote to the chair of the committee in February this year and was informed she had resigned.

Dearden, who was dropped on one, survived a couple of run-out chances in his lengthy vigil of 211 balls.
But it was a gritty performance from the home team after being put in to bat, in a battle of two teams who had lost their opening two fixtures by large margins.
Salter claimed a second wicket, bowling Cameron Delport for 20, before Pettini and Lewis Hill accelerated against the new ball in a stand of 73.
Leicestershire batsman Harry Dearden told BBC Radio Leicester:
"I was very proud to get a career-best, I would have loved to have got to three figures but still very proud, it's been a really good day for us.
"It was doing a bit early on, nipping around and swinging, you've just got to take as many balls as you can to get in and it was a good battle up top.
"I just tried to knuckle down and be as disciplined as I could. It's good batting with Horts (Paul Horton), he's an experienced head and calms you down, and it's really good batting with Mark (Pettini), he keeps you level."
Glamorgan spinner Andrew Salter told BBC Wales Sport:
"I am happy to take those two wickets, though it won't come as a surprise that they didn't turn that much- one through the gate and one a bit fuller that hit a bit of rough.
"It was more about trying to control the run-rate and I felt that if I built enough pressure there'd be some reward at the end of it, so hopefully I won't be needed too much more in the first innings.
"For the majority of the day we bowled really well as a group, Lukas (Carey) bowled amazingly up top, the run-rate was 2.6 for most of the day and it wasn't until the end that they got away from us." | Tributes have been paid to a member of Skye Mountain Rescue Team who died suddenly while on a hillwalking trip with friends.

What is the summary of the given information? | The Welsh 400m hurdler, 32, met the Olympic qualifying time in May, but failed to win automatic Rio selection at the British Championships.
The 2012 Olympian failed in his appeal against the decision.
"I'm pretty disappointed he hasn't been selected," Jackson told BBC Sport.
"I think what he's capable of is under 49 seconds - I truly believe that - and if you can get under 49 seconds, you can be in the final."
A British Athletics statement explained that because Williams was only eligible in round four of the organisation's selection process, the "selection panel would need to believe he would win a medal in Rio or at a future Olympic Games" in order for him to be included.
Williams has never won an Olympic medal, but did claim gold at the 2012 European Championships.
Asked if Williams could feel hard done by, Jackson said: "I think so. I have really mixed emotions with that [British Athletics' stance]. Sometimes it feels like they favour some athletes over others.
"They say Rhys may not be able to do it [win a medal], but I know Rhys had a really good, consistent winter and he's put a lot of time and effort in there and has no injuries.
"He's always scrapping for that great result he's capable of, and when you've had the winter preparation he has, he's more than capable of doing that.
"You just never know what you can do when you go to a major championship. It's not like he won't get through the first round - he's likely to get through to the semi. And when you get through to the semi, anything can happen."
Williams, who received a four-month ban for doping in 2014, had previously spoken of his belief that he could be selected for Rio.
But he was left out of the squad after missing out on a place in the top two at the British Championships in June and finishing fifth at the European Championships in July.

Can you summarize the following paragraph? | Peter Whittle said wearing a burka or niqab is "an absolute symbol of the subjectification of women".
UKIP wants no new Islamic schools in the state system until the Muslim community "is better integrated".
But Green Party co-leader Caroline Lucas likened UKIP's integration agenda to "full throttled Islamaphobia".
She spoke out after UKIP used a central London event to broaden its agenda beyond its successful campaign for Brexit.
The party says it wants girls at risk of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) to have annual school-based medical examinations. It also wants failure to report FGM to be made into a specific criminal offence.
Mr Whittle insisted his party wants people "to integrate properly", adding that UKIP firmly believes "a multi-ethnic society can be a harmonious and successful one if it's bound together by an overarching attachment to Britain and British identity".
But he argued that face coverings "such as the Islamic veil are a deliberate barrier to integration - they say 'don't speak to me, I will not speak to you'," adding that they are "a potent symbol of female oppression" and a "security risk".
"When it comes to things like the veil, France has banned it, Belgium has banned it," he told the BBC. "The biggest parliamentary party in the European Parliament has recently called for an EU-wide ban on it."
Other UKIP policies unveiled ahead of the 8 June general election include:
Caroline Lucas, co-leader of the Green Party, claimed UKIP's integration agenda was "an assault on multiculturalism and an attack on Muslims - it's full throttled Islamaphobia".
"Now that the referendum has passed Nuttall's party is desperately scrabbling around for relevance and seems to have settled upon attacks on Muslims and fringe far right politics as their new home," she said.
Former Lib Dem home office minister Baroness Featherstone claimed UKIP's FGM medical checks were "horrifically heavy-handed", arguing they would "alienate the very communities we are trying to reach out to".
"We should be training our teachers and other providers such as community experts to identify those at risk and teaching children themselves that FGM is wrong and to come forward if they fear for themselves or a friend," she said.
But Labour shadow home office minister Diane Abbott appeared to back the policy for mandatory medical checks during a Westminster Hall debate in 2014.
At the time she said: "It is a disgrace and a shame that in 2014 we cannot protect those young girls in London and other big cities. We have to face up to the need for prosecution and for routine medical examination."
Former UKIP member and donor, Arron Banks said he was not in favour of his party's proposed ban on the full face veil. "I think people have a right to their religious beliefs," he told BBC's Sunday Politics show.
"I think there are certain circumstances where if it's a security issue - maybe the airports, or public transport - it's acceptable, but I'm not in favour of curtailing people's [freedoms]."
However, he stood by the previous call he made on Twitter for a ban on Muslim immigration into the UK.
The former UKIP leader, Nigel Farage, proposed a burka ban in 2010. But the party later dropped the policy, and it did not appear in its 2015 manifesto.
Full-face veils are already banned in public in some European countries, including France.

Can you summarize the given article? | Several dailies carry the pictures of the two militants who were hanged at a prison in the central city of Faisalabad on Friday and urge more executions.
Mohammed Aqeel, alias Dr Usman, was sentenced to death over an attack on a military HQ in 2009 and Arshad Mehrban for an assassination attempt on then-President Pervez Musharraf in 2003.
"A fine beginning: Made in Faisalabad," says the leading business daily Business Recorder in a large headline. The paper carries a picture of a banner from a sit-in in Karachi remembering the 141 people killed in the Peshawar attack.
"An eye for an eye, hang them all, hand them high, MQM (Pakistan)," the banner reads.
The largest-selling Urdu daily Jang and its sister publication The News also display a graphic picture of the two hanged men on their front pages.
Even dailies that chose not to carry the pictures of the dead militants feature posters in support of their execution, displayed at commemorations for the Peshawar victims.
Several editorials argue that delaying the executions would only have encouraged militants.
"The Peshawar tragedy ultimately jolted the government and the prime minister rightly decided to lift the moratorium on executions," the pro-military Pakistan Observer says, adding that the move would improve overall security.
"To uproot terrorism the government and military authorities have started to take difficult and lasting decisions and implement them quickly," Jang says.
"The dream of establishing peace in the country cannot be realised without giving them the due punishment," Islamist daily Ummat says.
However, some newspapers warn that the execution could lead to more bloodshed.
"The government is responding to popular pressure" and the resumption of the death penalty for those already under trial is "not the solution", says the English-language nationalist daily The Nation.
"Executing a few TTP [Tehrik-i-Taleban Pakistan] prisoners will not change the fact that the government still does not have a plan to attack the extremist mindset and those who propagate it," The News says, despite the contrasting view from its sister publication Jang.
Finally, the English-language moderate daily Express Tribune warns the government about an "expected backlash" from the Taliban.
"The TTP and their affiliates will likely trigger some sort of violent reaction and the authorities need to put in place measures to deal with such an eventuality effectively," it said.

In September 2016 the Utility Regulator determined how much Northern Ireland's three gas networks could charge over the next six years.
That decision meant Firmus customers could expect their bills to be cut by an average of £15 a year.
Firmus appealed that decision to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) was unsuccessful.
Utility Regulator Chief Executive Jenny Pyper said: "The true winners are local gas consumers."
"Our price control package would have reduced Firmus energy's tariffs by £15 per annum for the average domestic consumer and by tens of thousands of pounds for the larger industrial consumers.
"The CMA's determination means that at this time, Firmus energy does not receive any increase in its allowances above those identified in our price control and associated licence modifications.
"All utilities are entitled to a return on their investment but this must be commensurate with the risks that the business and its shareholder face and should not expose business and household consumers to further costs that impact on bills."
Firmus said its decision to appeal to the CMA was not taken lightly and "was done with the best long-term interests in mind for the natural gas consumer in Northern Ireland".
The company appealed on a total of 12 issues - nine of which were rejected.
One issue has been referred back to the regulator which may result in future adjustments - upwards or downwards.
The Consumer Council welcomed the appeal's outcome, and urged the CMA to decide who should pay its costs - which it said were likely to be substantial.
"The Consumer Council are seeking assurances from the CMA that the costs of the process will not fall unfairly to consumers and will be proportionately paid by Firmus Energy," said Consumer Council Chief Executive John French. | The front pages of leading Pakistani dailies carry prominent reports on the first executions in the country since the moratorium on the death penalty was lifted in the aftermath of this week's Peshawar school attack.

Provide a concise overview of the following information. | The inspector of constabulary (HMICS) said services offered to some victims were "unacceptable."
The review said they lagged behind the rest of the UK, with many victims being examined in police stations.
The Scottish government said it was establishing a group to improve the responses to victims of rape or sexual assault.
The report, a review of forensic medical services provided to victims of sexual crime in Scotland, examined how victims of sexual crime receive medical attention while forensic evidence is also gathered for possible prosecution.
It said while there are committed and dedicated professionals working towards delivering high-quality forensic medical examinations for victims, there were "significant variations" across the country.
Assistant Inspector of Constabulary Gill Imery, who wrote the report, said more investment was needed to fund healthcare professionals, including forensic nurses and the premises and equipment used for forensic medical examinations.
She said: "In cases where victims of sexual crime seek support but are unsure whether they wish to report a crime to the police, they must have the option of a forensic medical examination to capture forensic evidence should they subsequently decide to make a report.
"It is imperative there is clarity around the process of securing and retaining forensic evidence to allow for investigation at a later stage if the victim subsequently chooses to disclose details of the crime."
Her report said the the priority of forensic medical examinations should be to address the immediate health needs and future recovery of patients, with the contribution to potential criminal justice proceedings being a secondary consideration.
HMICS praised facilities offered at the Archway sexual assault referral centre (SARC) in Glasgow which offered a good service to victims.
But it said the clinic was not available for significant periods overnight and at weekends.
And it said the Archway was the only SARC in Scotland, compared with 43 in England and Wales.
Louise Raphael, a retired detective superintendent who chaired an expert working group in 2013 to agree new standards for the provision of forensic examinations, said this was "an unacceptable inequality."
She said: "One of the problems has been that NHS boards have seen the matter as a criminal justice responsibility.
"But the treatment of victims, particularly follow-on support, is more important."
She said that although the health and justice secretaries had accepted the standards suggested by the working group, they had not issued minimum standards to NHS boards - and there was no audit or inspection process such as that in England.
Rape Crisis Scotland said around half of forensic examinations in sexual assault cases take place in police stations.
National co-ordinator, Sandy Brindley said: "Survivors also tell us of a lack of the most basic follow-up, for example the provision of emergency contraception.
"We hear of significant delays in examinations being provided, with people having to wait many hours, and in the worst cases days, for an examination, meaning they are unable to wash for considerable periods of time after being raped.
"There are particular issues for island communities, such as in Orkney and Shetland, where people generally have to travel to the mainland, with a police escort, to undergo an examination.
"Rape crisis workers on the islands tell us that this actively deters people from reporting sexual offences, as it significantly compromises their anonymity."
Justice Secretary Michael Matheson said: "The current provision of services for victims of rape and sexual assault is provided by motivated and committed professionals but more needs to be done to create a consistently high standard of service across Scotland.
"We know these individuals need the very best care at a time of great trauma and, while a forensic examination may be necessary for evidential reasons, there is a need to ensure the response is first and foremost health focused and victim centred.
"I am grateful that the chief medical officer has agreed to convene a group of key experts to ensure NHS boards are in a position to meet new National Standards and to examine closely the concerns and recommendations made by HMICS."
The report said a lack of paediatric services in some areas meant children who have been sexually abused are having to travel significant distances to be medically examined.
And it said adolescents can fall between adult and child services and forensic medical examinations can be delayed in the west of Scotland if the Archway facility was unavailable.
The children's charity NSPCC welcomed the report but said it was vital that any work undertaken to address its recommendations focuses on child, as well as adult victims of sexual assaults and reflects their different needs, particularly emotional support.
Matt Forde, national head for NSPCC Scotland said: "Police Scotland statistics show that 1 in 5 recorded rapes, and two-thirds of recorded sexual assaults, are committed against children under 16.
"However, research soon to be published by NSPCC Scotland, shows that in most areas the majority of children under 12 or 13 have no access to sexual assault recovery services.
"Recovery services for young people do not exist in every local area and the younger the child victim, the fewer the services available to them." | An independent watchdog has strongly criticised the treatment by the NHS and police of victims of sexual assault. |
Please provide a short summary of this passage. | The change is effective in both divisions and aims to encourage better pitches for four-day cricket.
An ECB statement read: "The visiting captain will be offered the opportunity of bowling first.
"If he declines, the toss will take place as normal. But if he accepts, there will be no toss."
The recommendation came from the ECB's cricket committee, which includes ECB chief executive Tom Harrison, England team director Andrew Strauss and former England coach Andy Flower.
The committee's chairman, Peter Wright, said a decision on whether to extend the trial would be taken at the end of the 2016 season.
Wright also said the decision was partly motivated about concern over the development of English spin bowlers.
"There has been concern for some years about some Championship pitches," he said.
"But it is fair to say that the plight of spin bowling in this country brought things into focus.
"Figures showing spinners bowled only 21.5% of the overs in the 2015 Championship were presented to the committee and we have come to the conclusion that the only way to bring spin bowlers more into the game is to provide better pitches for them to bowl on."
On Wednesday, England's limited-overs captain Eoin Morgan said the move may benefit the game long-term.
"If it's to improve the standard of wickets that we play on, and potentially produce a couple of wickets where spin might be conducive to that particular ground, I think absolutely," he said.
"The benefit in county cricket might not be at the very beginning, but potentially for younger guys coming through - they'll develop different skills which will in turn give them a greater base, if they do get picked for England, to play around the world and do it successfully."
But Andrew Gale, captain of County Champions Yorkshire, described the decision as "absolute madness".
He added on social media: "If the pitches are bad, why have no points been deducted in past few seasons?"
Meanwhile, the ECB also announced new helmet safety measures, on the eve of the first anniversary of Phillip Hughes' death.
The Australia batsman died aged 25, two days after being struck on the top of the neck by a ball during a domestic match in Sydney, in November 2014.
The ECB said the new measures will require all male and female cricketers to use helmets when batting.
Wicketkeepers standing up to the stumps and fielders closer than eight yards to the batsman's middle stump, except behind the wicket on the off side, will also have to wear helmets.
It said the recommendations followed a joint review by the ECB and the Professional Cricketers' Association, and were designed to reduce the risk of head and facial injuries within the game. | The mandatory coin toss is to be scrapped in the County Championship next season, the England and Wales Cricket Board has confirmed. |

About 1,000 Nigerian women intending to make the Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca have been detained since Sunday.
A Nigerian government delegation is going to Saudi Arabia to complain.
There has been an understanding in the past that Nigerian women are exempt from travelling with a male relative - a requirement for women on the Hajj.
Nigerian diplomats say the agreement between the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria and the Saudi authorities allows visas to be issued for Nigerian women going to Mecca as long as they are accompanied by Hajj committee officials.
BBC Nigeria correspondent Will Ross says it is not clear if this action was taken as part of an effort to clamp down on people entering Saudi Arabia illegally to work.
Since Sunday, hundreds of Nigerian women - mainly aged between 25 and 35, according to Nigerian diplomats - have been stopped at the airports in Jeddah and Medina.
Bilkisu Nasidi, who travelled from the northern Nigerian city of Katsina, told the BBC that hundreds of women had been sleeping on the floor, did not have their belongings and were sharing four toilets at the King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah.
She said she was part of a group of 512 women being deported to five states in Nigeria on Thursday.
With many of them now facing deportation, she said the atmosphere at the airport was not good, and the women felt "victimised".
The main problem was that their surnames did not correspond with those of their husbands or male guardian on visa documentation, she said.
It is a common practice for Muslim women in Nigeria not to take their husband's name.
"Honestly both governments are to blame, ours and theirs. They're telling us that our government has been aware of what are the requirements for the visa application and granting our visas," she told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme
"We're not happy about the situation - other than the Hajj we would not be interested in coming back to Saudi Arabia but unfortunately it is the holy land to us Muslims and we will have to look beyond the treatment and come back."
Nigeria's vice-president met the Saudi ambassador to Nigeria on Wednesday and gave him a 24-hour ultimatum for the situation to be resolved, the BBC's Chris Ewokor reports from the capital, Abuja.

What is the summary of the provided article? | It also found that adults are still eating too much saturated fat and not enough fruit, vegetables and fibre.
The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health called the results "extremely worrying".
Public Health England said it would be challenging the food industry to cut sugar by 20% in its products.
It maintained this would help to reduce child obesity levels.
The National Diet and Nutrition Survey, funded by Public Health England and the UK Food Standards Agency, has been run for the past six years collecting data on diet across the UK.
These latest results were from a survey of 1,288 adults and 1,258 children who completed a three or four-day food diary between 2012 and 2014.
Although sugar intake in children is still too high, there was a slight drop in the volume of sugary drinks consumed among four to 10-year-olds - from 130ml per day in 2008-10 to 100ml in 2012-14.
But sugar still makes up 13% of children's daily calorie intake and 15% of teenagers' daily diet - much more than the 5% recommended limit.
Adults consume a high level of sugar too, making up 12% of their diets on average.
These figures have remained more or less the same since 2008.
When it comes to fruit and vegetables, only 8% of 11 to 18-year-olds meet the five-a-day portions recommendation.
On average, teenagers manage just 2.8 portions per day while adults eat about four portions.
The survey found that people in the UK continue to consume too much saturated fat.
Children aged four to 10 have diets in which 13% of their daily calorie intake comes from saturated fat, compared with a target of under 11%.
The figure is 12.6% for those aged 11 to 18, while adults get 12.7% of their energy from saturated fat.
Average intake of red and processed meat should not exceed 70g per day, but men still eat too much while women are reducing the amount they consume.
Dr Alison Tedstone, chief nutritionist at Public Health England, said the survey showed that everyone needed to eat more fruit, vegetables, fibre and oily fish while cutting back on sugar, salt and saturated fat.
She said: "While it is encouraging that young children are having fewer sugary drinks, they still have far too much sugar in their diet overall, along with teenagers and adults.
"To help tackle this, PHE is launching a programme to challenge the food industry to remove at least 20% of the sugar in its products by 2020. It's an ambitious programme, a world first, and will be a significant step on the road to reducing child obesity levels."
One in three children currently leaving primary school is overweight or obese and there are concerns that in the future more adults will increase their risk of developing heart disease, type 2 diabetes and some cancers.
Prof Neena Modi, president of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, said: "The results of this survey are extremely worrying.
"This is why we are surprised the long-awaited UK government childhood obesity strategy did not include a number of recommendations aimed at protecting children, such as a ban on advertising junk food and limiting their sale around schools."
She called for the measures to be reconsidered. | Children aged four to 10 are consuming twice as much sugar as they should be and teenagers three times as much, a national survey of diets has found. |

Tests found the chemical fipronil, which can harm people's kidneys, liver and thyroid glands, in Dutch eggs.
Supermarkets in Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands have removed potentially contaminated eggs.
"We knew since early June there was potentially a problem with fipronil in the poultry sector," spokeswoman Katrien Stragier told reporters.
"We immediately launched an investigation and we also informed the prosecutor because it was a matter of possible fraud," she added, without giving more details.
German Agriculture Minister Christian Schmidt expressed concern about the revelation, and planned to call his Belgian counterpart on Monday.
One German official said up to 10 million of the contaminated eggs may have been sold in Germany.
The Netherlands is Europe's largest exporter of eggs and egg products, and one of the biggest in the world. It exports an estimated 65% of the 10 billion eggs it produces every year.
About 180 poultry farms in the country have been temporarily shut while investigations are held.
The 32-year-old midfielder had trained alone or with the club's under-23s since Jose Mourinho was appointed United boss in the summer.
Former Germany captain Schweinsteiger last played for the Red Devils in March, when Louis van Gaal was manager.
He said in August he had "no personal problems" with Mourinho, and United will be his last club in Europe.
"It's great to see him back," said United left-back Luke Shaw. "We found out the news a couple of days ago.
"He's a big influence in the dressing room and obviously on the pitch, especially for the young players like myself."
It is unclear whether Mourinho will now consider Schweinsteiger for first-team action.
He was named in United's Premier League squad for this season, but left out of their Europa League squad.
Schweinsteiger has made 31 appearances for the club since his £14.4m move from Bayern Munich in July 2015.

Before Schweinsteiger can think about a return he still hoped for during the dark days of being forced to train on his own, he needs to know why Mourinho brought him back into the fold.
After all, he cannot play against Fenerbahce on Thursday because he is not in Mourinho's Europa League squad.
With Ander Herrera banned, Schweinsteiger is an option for United's Premier League trip to Swansea.
However, given he is so short of match practice, is that really an option?

Write a brief summary of the document. | The Mercedes drivers, with Rosberg 23 points ahead in their championship battle, were 0.323 seconds quicker than Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen.
Red Bull's Max Verstappen beat Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel to third.
Jenson Button struggled for McLaren, in 16th, eight places and 0.413secs behind team-mate Fernando Alonso.
How Friday practice unfolded
The 2009 world champion was complaining that the car lacked balance and felt no different from the morning session, when he was unhappy with its feel.
Hamilton has five races left to try to claw back his deficit to Rosberg. He had hoped to start this weekend in the same fashion he conducted the last race in Malaysia, when he was demonstrably faster than Rosberg and was on his way to a comfortable victory until his engine failed late in the race.
Instead, Rosberg was fastest in both sessions, albeit by a small margin in the afternoon as clouds came over Suzuka.
"It's been a really good day with no problems on the car which is great," said Hamilton. "But there's still some work to be done overnight in order to find more pace.
"Hopefully we'll be going into Sunday in good shape."
Rain had been expected overnight and for qualifying but the forecasts are now less confident of that and the weather is uncertain, as it so often is on this eastern coast of Honshu, between mountains and Pacific Ocean.
Rain would enhance the chances of Red Bull mixing it with Mercedes in qualifying but the race-simulation runs later in the second session suggested that they could keep the world champions honest in the race as well.
Verstappen and team-mate Daniel Ricciardo matched Hamilton's lap-time average on the soft tyres that will be used in at least the first stint of the race.
Ricciardo, winner in Malaysia on Sunday, was only 12th as he did not complete a lap on his qualifying simulation run because it was interrupted for a virtual safety car period after Esteban Gutierrez's Haas stopped on track.
Ferrari's race pace was hard to judge because of off-set tyre choices. Raikkonen's headline lap time, set with a new front wing the team have brought to Japan, suggests they could be in the mix, although the Finn was complaining of a lack of front grip on his race run.
Force India looked to be comfortably the fourth quickest team, while Alonso's pace in eighth suggests McLaren should again be able to get at least one car into the top 10.
It was a relatively incident-free session, with no crashes, although Renault's Kevin Magnussen, Williams' Felipe Massa and Sauber's Felipe Nasr all ran wide before rejoining.

Please summarize the following text. | When Lisa McAdams began her decade-long relationship with the man who abused her, she had a successful career and enough savings for a home deposit. She walked away a single parent, carrying debts that took a decade to reconcile.
"I was lucky he hit me", Ms McAdams confesses bluntly.
There's a bitter irony behind this statement. The physical assaults provided clear evidence of the abuse she was suffering. The mental and economic attacks were savage, but covert and subtle.
"The poverty pushes you into leaving, and then it is singularly the hardest bit to climb out of," she says.
Surviving on welfare was a far cry from the seemingly charmed life she had led, waving to celebrity neighbours as she spun the wheel of a luxury car through the gates of a lavish compound.
But amid the trappings of security, she was anything but safe.
It was not until a close friend, who also suffered spousal abuse, died of cancer that she knew life was too short to stay ensnared by violence.
With two small children in tow and less than A$40 (£21; $30) in her bank account, Ms McAdams wound up at the Delvena shelter in Lane Cove, which currently services the North Sydney area.
With a lock on the door, it was the safest she had felt in years.
In February, a contact connected Ms McAdams to Mary's House in North Sydney and she soon became their spokesperson.
Now she is speaking about her painful past to raise awareness of the refuge, which will open in September.
The property was being used as a storage space by the Jesuits before it was donated to the Catholic Church and converted into the 19-bed non-denominational shelter.
It's being praised as a lifesaving local solution to a national problem.
Experts say abuse in prosperous communities is underreported due to the potent mix of money, power, and social stigma.
It's this secret side of abuse, referred to as "golden handcuffs", that Lisa McAdams knows too well.
When her partner surprised her with an extravagant holiday to Paris she was the envy of friends. Omitted from the pair's splendid postcards was the beating he gave her with a heavy object, first extended as a gift.
When Lisa was asked about her trip to "the city of love" she responded begrudgingly. Her partner's overt largesse masked the menace he showed behind closed doors. It contradicted possible whispers among their social circle that he could ever be unkind.
"This evidence [perpetrators] are giving everyone you know is that you are ungrateful," she says. "Who could complain about an all-expenses-paid trip to Paris?"
Despite her prowess in the corporate finance world - where she earned a similar income to her ex-partner before giving birth - Lisa was powerless over the family budget.
At the office she would sign off on million-dollar accounts but at home she'd tremble at the sight of a standard electricity bill.
"I would make suggestions like 'maybe we should pay off our debts' instead of making a big purchase," adding that he would hit her if she got too "gobby".
"There was also this perception that I was so lucky because he did the food shopping, but in actual fact it was another way in which he could control the money," she says.
Deputy CEO of support service Wire, Julie Kun, says financial abuse is always about power and control.
A common story she hears is of partners who cannot drive carrying car loans when their abuser is the sole user of the vehicle.
"[It's] using money to control the behaviour of a person and making them do something that they don't want to do," Ms Kun said.
"They leave with less money than they started with, and often nothing at all."
Australia's Sex Discrimination Commissioner, Kate Jenkins, tells the BBC that workplaces have been unaware of the pervasiveness of family violence until just recently.
But with more women filling senior positions, businesses are beginning to count the cost of violence at home.
When their team leaders are forced to take time off to rearrange their lives and productivity slips, it impacts the bottom line.
Lisa McAdams's latest company gives advice to large corporations - including one of the world's biggest audit firms, Ernst & Young (EY) - on how to best manage staff who are dealing with the debilitating side-effects of domestic violence.
"Women are no longer just the typing pool, they are becoming more valuable in the workplace and harder to replace," she says. | A new shelter aims to provide a safe haven for women who are targets of domestic abuse in some of Sydney's most affluent areas, writes Ashley Donnelly. |

Provide a concise overview of the following information. | The final Markit composite eurozone Purchasing Manages' Index (PMI), which combines manufacturing and services activity, rose to 54.2, its highest reading since May 2011.
Any reading above 50 indicates growth, while below 50 points to contraction.
Markit said the data pointed to second-quarter economic growth of 0.4%.
It comes despite concerns over the possibility of a messy Greek exit from the euro.
Speculation that Athens would miss a €1.6bn repayment to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Tuesday held back manufacturing activity in the month, Markit said.
But the European Central Bank's (ECB) massive €1 trillion bond-buying programme announced in March was beginning to help the service sector, with activity running at its fastest rate since mid-2011.
Markit said the ECB stimulus programme - combined with low inflation - had boosted spending and investment across the eurozone, as consumers and businesses splurged their cash in an attempt to beat expected price rises.
"Despite the escalation of the Greek crisis in the second half of the month, the final PMI for June came in slightly above the 'flash' estimate, suggesting the turmoil has so far had little discernible impact on the real economy," said Markit's chief economist, Chris Williamson.
But he noted companies continued to cut prices to help boost sales, as they have since early 2012.
The composite price index was 49.4, below May's reading of 49.5, suggesting prices are still falling and that the ECB's battle with low inflation across the currency bloc has some way to go yet, despite official estimates suggesting a slight increase in inflation.
Price discounting helped drive up the PMI covering the service industry, which makes up the bulk of the eurozone economy. It rose to 54.4 from May's 53.8. | Eurozone business activity rose at its fastest pace in four years in June, boosted by higher spending by consumers and businesses, a survey has indicated. |
Can you summarize the following content in brief? | The German club confirmed they met Barca representatives but the offer for the 20-year-old did not meet their valuation of the France international.
They added that Dembele moving to the Spanish side is "not currently likely".
Head coach Peter Bosz said the club had been unable to contact the player but later confirmed he was in Dortmund.
The Bundesliga side said Dembele, who has been capped seven times by France, has been suspended until Monday.
He is reportedly a £135m target for Barcelona as a replacement for Brazil forward Neymar, who they sold to Paris St-Germain for a world record fee of £200m last week.
Dortmund signed Dembele on a five-year deal from Rennes in May 2016.
Mr McAfee, who founded an anti-virus company of the same name, filed a candidacy statement on Tuesday.
The US entrepreneur, 69, attracted international attention when he went on the run in 2012 following the murder of his neighbour in Belize.
He has launched a campaign website and will share more details about his candidacy later.
"I live in a country that has passed so many laws, that, at an average reading speed, would take me 600 years to read, reading 24 hours a day," Mr McAfee told the BBC.
"I am protected by a government that invades my privacy so that it can assure me that I am not the enemy it is protecting me from.
"I live in a country that is governed by people largely illiterate in cybersecurity - as proven by the multiple government computer hacks.
"Yet cyber-warfare is now the means of war. My government is dysfunctional. For the 300 million other Americans - you are in the same boat with me."
Mr McAfee found fame when he launched his anti-malware company in 1987, but he resigned from the company in 1994.
Intel later bought the company, in which Mr McAfee no longer held shares, for more than $7.6bn (£4.7bn).
However, it is his private life - including much publicised battles with drink and drugs - that has attracted most attention.
In November 2012, he went on the run in Belize after the murder of his neighbour, Gregory Faull, an Orlando sports bar owner.
Mr McAfee, who was never declared a suspect, said he feared he would be "silenced" if he was caught and thrown in jail.
He eventually crossed the border into Guatemala, where he was arrested and then deported to the US.
At the time, Dean Barrow, Belize's Prime Minister, said Mr McAfee had only been classed a "person of interest".
"I don't want to be unkind to the gentleman, but I believe he is extremely paranoid, even bonkers," the politician added.
Mr McAfee's campaign manager confirmed that his party would be known as the "Cyber Party".

Give a brief summary of the following article. | Jonathan Catchpole, 38, was attacked by three men at his flat in Bury St Edmunds in August 2015.
His ex-girlfriend Rebecca Deferia is accused of organising the attempt on his life after their relationship ended.
Ms Deferia, 30, denies conspiracy to murder.
Ipswich Crown Court heard three men - one armed with a sawn-off shotgun - barged into Mr Catchpole's home.
During police interviews heard in court, Mr Catchpole told officers: "One of the guys said: 'Rebecca wants you dead....so I knew what it was about.
In the "tussle" which ensued, he was hit over the head, and felt warm blood running down his face. He tried to grab the shotgun and push it away.
"I heard a bang, and there was a smell, and I looked down and there was a hole in my chest and blood was spurting out of it," he said.
He described how the trio ran off and he went outside knocking at the doors of his neighbours, before eventually collapsing in the street, struggling to breathe.
People came to his aid and he was taken to hospital where he underwent emergency surgery.
Shotgun pellets, wadding and shrapnel were all found inside his body, but not all could be removed, he said.
Ms Deferia, 30, from Carnation Way, Red Lodge, denies conspiracy to murder between August 2014 and August 2015.
The case continues.
Tencent, best known for its WeChat mobile app, has been investing in a number of sectors, including gaming, entertainment, cloud computing and online financing.
Tesla said the stake was passive, meaning Tencent would not get a say in how the US firm was run.
Shares in Tesla rose 2.3% in early trading following the announcement.
Tesla's range of electric cars has included the Model S and the Roadster, which was billed as the world's first electric sports car.
The company also specialises in battery storage, and, through its SolarCity subsidiary, residential solar panels.
The firm has been raising capital ahead of the launch of its mass-market Model 3 sedan, and gained about $1.2bn through a bond and share sale earlier in March.
Tencent, one of Asia's largest technology firms, has backed several electric vehicle companies in the past.
It was an early investor in NextEV, a Shanghai-based start-up which since has rebranded itself as Nio and has offices in San Jose, California, close to Tesla's base.

Summarize the following content briefly. | Deputy Commissioner Craig Mackey said the force was "seeing a move across" to gang members using acid and corrosive fluids in attacks.
But he cautioned evidence was limited as "it's a small data set".
On Monday, MPs debated measures, including tougher sentences, for attacks involving corrosive substances.
The government has also proposed classifying such substances as dangerous weapons.
The deputy commissioner supported efforts to tackle the issue, saying some of the substances are "not even defined by law".
"The impact this sort of attack has on people is extraordinary," he said.
"Many of us have been unfortunate to see quite a bit in our services but acid attacks are really extraordinary and strike at something quite horrific in people's psyche."
Mr Mackey told the London Assembly Police and Crime Committee there were 458 acid offences recorded in London last year, with 63% being assaults.
He said 23% were related to robberies and the rest were criminal damage, while the majority of victims were aged between 15 and 29 and nearly a third were Asian.
"About 80% of the victims and about 82% of the suspects are male so it's a predominantly male-pattern behaviour," Mr Mackey said.
"East London is a hotspot ... although there are offences across London."
Mr Mackey's comments come as four teenagers, two aged 17 and two 18, were arrested for possession of a suspected corrosive substance following a stop and search in Leytonstone, east London on Wednesday.

A bottle of suspected corrosive substance, gloves and a balaclava were recovered from the car the suspects were travelling in.
Last week, five separate male victims - all on mopeds and including a fast-food delivery driver - were allegedly targeted by two moped-riding attackers in north and east London.
"We are seeing some links - although it has to be treated with caution because it's a small data set - of a growing feature between named suspects in acid attacks who also feature in our gang matrix," Mr Mackey said.
"So please don't read that as gangs have all moved lock, stock and barrel into acid, but we are seeing a move across.

Provide a brief summary of this section. | Silva is the ninth Watford boss in five years and the eighth since the Italian Pozzo family took over in 2012.
The 39-year-old Portuguese replaced Mike Phelan at Hull in January but was unable to prevent relegation to the Championship and resigned on Thursday.
Chairman Scott Duxbury said Silva is "one of the most sought after head coaches in the Premier League".
He added: "His pedigree and promise speaks for itself with his achievements in top divisions elsewhere across Europe, as well as his work at Hull City last season."
Silva succeeds Walter Mazzarri at Vicarage Road, with the Italian dismissed before the final league match of a season in which the Hornets finished 17th.
Silva previously managed at Estoril, Sporting Lisbon and Olympiakos and during his Hull reign he extended a combined unbeaten home record with all four clubs to 41 matches, which was ended by a 2-0 defeat against relegated Sunderland.
Hull were relegated in the penultimate week of the season and Silva said at the time: "It's my goal as a manager to work in the Premier League."
The Tigers won only once away from home and lost their final three matches, suffering a 7-1 thrashing by second-placed Tottenham on the final day.
The couple realised the man, who was walking alone, was in difficulty about two kilometres from the summit of Ben Macdui in the Cairngorms.
Cairngorm Mountain Rescue Team said the pair had "virtually carried him" for two or three kilometres.
Mountain rescuers were then flown in by helicopter to help and the casualty was given medical treatment.
Willie Anderson, the leader of Cairngorm Mountain Rescue Team, said the couple noticed the man was "really struggling" after they had reached the summit of the 1,309m (4,296ft) Ben Macdui and had started their descent.
"By the time they got just a couple of kilometres from the summit, he was staggering and falling so they gave him an assisted walk," he told BBC Scotland.
"They realised right away he was hypothermic. His trousers were wet - he hadn't put his leggings on - and his jacket was wet.
"They virtually carried him two or three kilometres until they got a signal and once they got a signal they phoned the rescue team."
Low cloud meant the Coastguard rescue helicopter could not reach the exact location of the casualty.
Members of the rescue team were dropped nearby and walked the rest of the way. They then spent an hour warming the man up on the mountain before taking him back down to the rescue team base near Aviemore.
Mr Anderson said the couple were "true Samaritans" and "heroes of the day".
"There's absolutely no doubt that young couple saved the man's life," he added.
"He realised that had they not been there he would have been on the plateau and he would have succumbed.
"He was really cold, really wet, he had no food and at that stage his decision-making was - like all folks who get hypothermic - very, very poor."

Write a summary of this document. | Sheriff John Beckett said the most effective way of preventing a similar tragedy is "to avoid drivers becoming incapacitated at the wheel".
The sheriff said responsibility for this lies with drivers and the DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency), the UK-wide body that issues licences to drivers.
He said the current fitness-to-drive regime was a self-reporting system which was "vulnerable to the withholding and concealing of relevant information by applicants".
The sheriff said the current rules were unlikely to prevent a "deliberate deception" such as that by driver Harry Clarke, who had a history of dizziness and blackouts which were not reported to the DVLA.
Here are the main points from the sheriff's findings:
In his conclusions the sheriff said: "It may well be that the single most useful outcome of this inquiry would be to raise awareness of the dangers involved in driving if subject to a medical condition which could cause the driver to lose control of a vehicle." | A fatal accident inquiry into the bin lorry crash in which six people died has made a series of recommendations, mainly relating to how a driver's fitness to drive is recorded. |
Summarize the content provided below. | According to its latest report, two thirds involved illegal drugs.
Cocaine-related deaths rose to 247 - up from 169 in 2013, while deaths from heroin and/or morphine increased by 579 to 952 between 2012 and 2014.
The Department of Health said any drug-related death was a tragedy.
But while in England there was a 17% rise in the drug misuse mortality rate in 2014, up to 39.7 per million head of population, in Wales the rate fell by 16% to 39 deaths per million, the lowest since 2006.
The number of people dying from drugs misuse in Wales fell by 20% to 168 last year, down from 208 recorded deaths in 2013.
Legal drugs which were misused and associated with deaths during this period include Tramadol, linked to 240 cases, codeine, which was associated with 136, and Diazepam, linked to 258.
Of the 3,346 drug poisoning deaths registered in 2014, illegal drugs were involved with 2,248 cases.
Males were more than 2.5 times more likely to die from drug misuse than females, the report says.
People aged 40 to 49 had the highest mortality rate from drug misuse - 88.4 deaths per million population - followed by people aged 30 to 39 - 87.9 deaths per million.
As in previous years, the majority were males, with 2,246 deaths compared with 1,100 female deaths.
A Department of Health spokeswoman said: "Although we are seeing fewer people year on year using heroin, in particular young people, any death related to drugs is a tragedy.
"Our drugs strategy is about helping people get off drugs and stay off them for good, and we will continue to help local authorities give tailored treatment to users."
Rosanna O'Connor, director of Alcohol, Drugs and Tobacco at Public Health England said the latest rise in deaths caused by heroin use was of "great concern".
She added: "The increased global availability and purity of heroin is clearly having an impact in England.
"Fewer people are using heroin but the harms are increasingly concentrated among older, more vulnerable users and those not recently in touch with their local drug treatment services.
"Reassuringly, overall drug use has also declined and treatment services have helped many people to recover but these figures show the need for an enhanced effort."
The BBC's home affairs correspondent, Danny Shaw, says that while there is plenty of coverage of the use of nitrous oxide, known as laughing gas, the number of deaths from the use of that drug remains in single figures and is dwarfed by heroin and cocaine deaths.
The news comes after it was revealed last month that the number of drug-related deaths in Scotland has risen to its highest level since records began.
The National Records of Scotland report said 613 people died as a result of drugs in 2014.

"It would have maybe been on the high street as the latest fashion in Derby, down Sadler Gate in the 1790s, and it's just a really interesting find.
"Who knows, it might only make £20, it could make £100. It is sadly very tired."
The hat would have been worn by members of the upper class, and this type of hat also became part of uniforms donned by policemen and postmen, according to the antiques expert.

Summarize the provided section. | Fourteen people were arrested amid vandalism and assaults in a south-west district of the Californian city.
The city's police chief said his officers would adopt a tougher approach to any further disturbances.
George Zimmerman, 29, was cleared on Saturday of unarmed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin's death in Florida last year.
Federal officials are now investigating potential civil rights charges against Mr Zimmerman, who said he opened fire in self-defence.
Los Angeles police said about 150 people splintered off from a peaceful vigil in the Crenshaw area on Monday, some of them jumping on cars and breaking windows at fast-food outlets.
Several protesters vandalised a Walmart in the neighbourhood. Aerial broadcast news footage showed troublemakers kicking and punching people on the street.
Police, who brought 300 officers to the scene, declared an unlawful assembly, and most of the demonstrators then dispersed.
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti held a late-night news conference after cutting short a trip to the US East Coast because of the disturbances in his home city.
"The trial that we saw in Florida has ignited passions, but we have to make sure that it will not ignite the city," Mayor Garcetti said.
He was joined by Police Chief Charlie Beck, who said: "This will not be allowed to continue."
Meanwhile, in Oakland, California, protesters briefly shut a highway during rush hour on Monday evening.
Police made several arrests amid disturbances in the centre of the city.
Rocks and bottles were thrown at Oakland police officers, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
The newspaper also reported that a waiter trying to shield windows at a restaurant was struck in the face with a hammer.
It was the third night of protests in the state of California over the Trayvon Martin case.
Peaceful demonstrations and vigils have been held in cities across the US, with more protests possible.
On Tuesday, civil rights leader and broadcaster Rev Al Sharpton discussed his plans for vigils and rallies in 100 cities this weekend to call for federal charges against Mr Zimmerman.
One of the jurors of the sequestered, all-female panel of six told CNN in an interview aired on Monday evening that the jury had initially been split.
The juror, known as B37, said that she and two others believed that Mr Zimmerman was not guilty, while the other three thought he was guilty.
She said that after much deliberation, they ultimately agreed that not guilty was the only verdict they could reach based on the law in the case.
B37 said she believes Mr Zimmerman's "heart was in the right place" and that the only thing he was guilty of was a lack of "good judgement" in confronting the teenager.
She added that while "both [George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin] were responsible for the situation", she had "no doubt George feared for his life".
B37 initially said she would write a book on the trial, but has since changed her mind.
Mr Zimmerman's parents, meanwhile, told broadcaster ABC that they had received an "enormous amount" of death threats.
"'Everyone with Georgie's DNA should be killed' - just every kind of horrible thing you can imagine," Robert Zimmerman, the father, told ABC about the threats. | Los Angeles officials have appealed for calm after protests turned violent over the acquittal of a neighbourhood watchman who killed a black teenager. |

What is the summary of the following article? | The US book chain is marketing the device as the "first-ever full-featured Android tablet optimised for reading", based on its inclusion of pre-installed Nook apps and homescreen shortcuts.
However, its screen is lower resolution than Kobo's Android-powered Arc 7HD.
One analyst said it would be an "uphill struggle" to sell the new device.
"There is growing consumer apathy to this growing class of low-cost tablets," said Ben Wood, from the tech consultancy CCS Insight.
"Although there is the Nook angle on this, it goes into the melting pot with numerous other tablets that will appear in this price point as we run up to Christmas.
"Amazon has pretty much locked out the market in reading-focused tablets anyway, the only thing I'd applaud here is the fact that Barnes & Noble has gone to Samsung, which can give it scale and quality."
The advantage that the 7in (17.8cm)-screened Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 Nook has over Amazon's Fire tablets is that it can easily access the Google Play marketplace. Amazon's tablet uses a proprietary store with fewer apps available.
Costing $179 (£107), the new Nook is also cheaper than the Kindle Fire HDX and Kobo Arc 7HD.
However with only 216 pixels per inch, text will appear less sharp on its screen. Likewise, magazines and movies sold from the included Nook Newsstand and Nook Video apps will present less detail than similar purchases on either the two other Android machines or Apple's bestselling iPad Mini, which also has its own dedicated ebook store.
Even so, one market watcher said the tie-up still made business sense. Samsung should benefit from the exposure of having its machine promoted in Barnes & Noble's stores and website, while the retailer gets to cut its costs after posting a $47m (£28.2m) net loss for its last financial year.
"It's very hard to make money out of mobile devices," said Ian Fogg, from the IHS consultancy.
"But by having this partnership, Barnes & Noble can have its own content and services pre-installed so that they are not just front-of-mind but also front-of-eyes for consumers.
"If it wants to get its apps used on other people's devices it has to persuade people to install them instead of a Kindle app or another competitor - that visibility is very important."
At the moment the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 Nook is only available in the US.
Barnes and Noble will continue to sell e-ink readers, including the Nook GlowLight, which was launched in the UK earlier this month. | Barnes & Noble has unveiled a customised version of an existing Samsung tablet as a replacement for the Nook HD+, which it manufactured itself. |
Give a concise summary of the passage below. | Lord Livermore told BBC Radio 4's World at One economic competence and leadership were key issues for voters.
But the party was "going backwards" in both of those areas under Mr Corbyn.
If the new Labour leader does not change course the party "will lose in 2020", Livermore told the BBC's Martha Kearney.
Spencer Livermore was Labour's election strategy chief in 2001 and 2005 before going on to be Gordon Brown's director of strategy in Downing Street. He left politics for a job in advertising in 2008 before returning to run Labour's 2015 election campaign. He was made a life peer last month.
He told the World at One: "We are now further away from power then we were on 8 May.
"I had hoped during the (Labour) leadership election that - after such a heavy defeat - it would have produced a verdict about whether you could ever win an election from a 'soft left' position.
"Incredibly, now we are in a position where we are discussing about whether we can win in a 'hard' left position.
"If you genuinely reflect at the 2015 election and why we lost it is impossible to conclude that we could win from that position.
"On the fundamental issues we are going backwards rather than forwards.
"On the economy and economic competence I don't see any progress being made.
"On the fundamental qualities that make someone a potential prime minister, I don't think he is measuring up to those qualities and it feels like the project is narrower than ever before.
"There is a responsibility on the moderate part of the Labour Party firstly to help Mr Corbyn to learn the lessons on why we lost and help the party to move forwards on the fundamental issues."
Livermore also spoke about the mood at the top of Labour as the election results began to come in, saying "it was a very difficult night for all of us".
"Although we knew it would be close, we expected to be more in contention than we turned out to be.
"Our internal polling was pretty much what the external polls were saying; we thought it would be pretty close.
"I don't think any of us expected to win outright. We hadn't taken the difficult decisions early on in the Parliament on economy and welfare."
He added: "Working on four election campaigns, it's becoming increasingly obvious to me that elections are won and lost in the opening weeks and months of a Parliament. I think everyone would look back at the 2015 campaign - we would all say we were wrong on the key fundamentals."
He also addressed the now notorious "Ed stone" - the stone tablet carved with Labour policies that Mr Miliband unveiled during the campaign.
"I think we can all agree now that the 'Ed stone' was a very bad idea, it was a mistake.
"But let's not make the mistake now that it had any impact on why we lost the election a week later - it's about those three key factors; leadership, economy and welfare." | Ed Miliband's general election chief has warned that Jeremy Corbyn is "failing to learn the lessons of why Labour lost in 2015". |

Pascal Fauret and Bruno Odos were arrested in 2013 in the Dominican resort of Punta Cana.
Police said their plane was carrying 26 suitcases stuffed with 680kg (1,500lb) of cocaine.
The two pilots and two other Frenchmen on board were found guilty of drug trafficking. They denied the charges.
According to French news channel BMFTV, the pilots had previously worked for the French navy and were helped by former intelligence agents to leave the Dominican Republic.
The channel said that the ex-intelligence agents helped the pilots, who were under house arrest, reach a boat off the Dominican coast.
From there they sailed to the French Antilles and then flew to Paris.
The French government said it had nothing to do with their escape.
The pilots' lawyer, Jean Reinhart, told AFP news agency that Fauret and Odos had returned to France "not to flee justice but to seek justice".
Mr Reinhart said the two were not "escapees" as they had not escaped from jail.
They had been barred from leaving the country but had not been sent to prison because they were appealing against their convictions, Mr Reinhart explained.
He said that Fauret and Odos had contacted the French magistrate in charge of their case and were keen to clear their name.
Fauret and Odos along with Nicolas Pisapia and Alain Castany were about to leave the Dominican Republic on board a Dassault Falcon 50 jet when the suitcases full of cocaine were discovered on board.

Give a concise summary of the passage below. | Tonight's event is obviously a great opportunity for Plaid Cymru.
This is the first time its leader will be on the top table in the only occasion in which David Cameron and Ed Miliband will appear together during the entire campaign.
It's the kind of exposure party spin doctors could only have dreamt about and the first thing she's likely to say is how she represents Wales.
In other words she'll try to blur the lines between Plaid and the country itself.
Unsurprisingly the other parties have got in early and got in hard.
Welsh Labour has described Plaid as a minority party at every level of government, and have happily trotted out the statistics revealing the uncomfortable truth for Plaid that it is the only one of the smaller parties not to have seen any kind of significant bounce in the polls since 2010.
Even though Ed Miliband will be centre-stage, Welsh Labour is clearly acutely aware of the potential benefits to Leanne Wood.
After all, on the day that the Plaid leader will be standing between Ed Miliband and Nicola Sturgeon, claiming to be the voice of Wales in a TV debate watched by millions, the First Minister Carwyn Jones, the man who travels the world representing Wales, is left to blog in the Huffington Post. Incidentally neither of them are standing in the election.
It's not only Labour, the other parties have all weighed in as well on the issue of who represents Wales.
Plaid need the exposure and a strong performance from its leader tonight because, as Labour have reminded everyone, the polls have not suggested any meaningful rise in support for it.
Its campaign strategy has been geared around this debate. Plaid has front-loaded its campaign, with two launches already out of the way, to take as much advantage as possible from the event.
Its big job then it so to try to maintain the momentum over the next five weeks.
It must surely be the case that Leanne Wood has had more UK-wide exposure than any of her predecessors, but can she take advantage of it to really take Labour on in places like Llanelli and Anglesey, or at the very least lay the foundations for a strong performance in the assembly elections next year?
Time is obviously going to be limited in the debate. I suspect the biggest danger for Plaid, and for the other party leaders as well for that matter, is to go missing in action if the debate turns into a bunfight as it opens up in the latter stages. | An interesting pre-debate debate has opened up about who speaks for Wales. |
What is the summary of the provided article? | So often has it been heard from your typical tub-thumping delegate, that it has begun to sound a little like white noise.
But this year, as teacher delegates met in Manchester and Cardiff for their annual conferences, something had changed.
As more information has come to light about the state of school budgets, the message has resonated further.
So what was once only emblazoned on delegates' T-shirts, has become a topic of polite dinner table conversation in many family homes.
As Lewisham delegate Cleo Lewis put it with absolute clarity: "I've had enough. It's just too much. Nothing is going to change by sitting around discussing."
The reality of significant cost pressures, in England's schools - ranging between 8% and 12%, depending on whom you believe - not to mention £3bn in efficiency savings, has penetrated parents' collective consciousness.
This is in part due to the NUT/ATL school cuts website and the attention the local press have given it, say the unions.
With web hits topping 400,000 and citations in more than 500 regional news stories, it has undoubtedly spread its message.
The interactive website provides an estimate of how much each school stands to lose as a result of budget shortfalls and the new schools funding formula.
Then it converts the figures into possible equivalent losses in teachers and support staff.
It has prompted even the most measured of parents to burst into the playground and tell their friends: "Apparently we're going to lose three teachers."
As a result parents, pushy and otherwise, have begun to mobilise alongside their children's teachers against what they see as unfair and unsustainable cuts.
When quizzed by journalists on whether teachers would strike over the cuts, general secretary of the NUT, Kevin Courtney, appeared to suggest it would not be necessary.
"There's nothing unethical about striking against these cuts. There will be demands for that sort of action that come up in all sorts of places," he said.
"But what we are seeing is huge numbers of parental meetings, with hundreds of parents. These are significant mobilisations of people."
The biggest, for as long as he could remember, he said.
And crucially, they are people not normally given to manning the barricades with placards and copies of the Socialist Worker stuffed in back pockets.
Instead, they are people from ordinary hard-working families, to coin a phrase.
Families, who may be starting to resent padding-out suffering school budgets.
Take the Fair Funding for All Schools founder Jo Yurky, who addressed the NUT conference in Cardiff this weekend.
The mother-of-two, and former Parliamentary ombudsman, confided that she was terrified of addressing delegates.
"I find it all a bit uncomfortable, public speaking," she told journalists, just minutes after making a rousing speech to the union.
Her self-consciousness took nothing away from her message. In fact, it only added to it.
But it was the content of her speech, and who she represents, that gives a new power to what the NUT and other teaching unions have been saying for some time.
She described how schools have been asking parents to set up direct debits to plug huge deficits, sometimes amounting to several hundred thousand pounds.
The claim rings true with parents who've had those begging letters home from head teachers explaining what difficult times their children's schools are facing.
It provides a mirror image of the message head teachers have been setting out in open letters to their local papers, MPs and the education secretary over the last few months.
As Ms Yurky puts it, when head teachers speak, parents listen.
She expresses extreme frustration at the Department for Education's unwillingness to admit there is a problem, through its reiteration that school funding is at its highest ever level.
The DfE, however, is keen to show it is listening too.
It says: "We recognise that schools are facing cost pressures, and we will continue to provide support to help them use their funding in the most cost effective ways, so that every pound of the investment we make in education has the greatest impact."
But the parent campaigner goes on to say confidently; "When parents speak politicians listen."
It is not clear yet whether Education Secretary Justine Greening will find some hidden resources in the education budget to alleviate the deepening cash problems ahead.
Or whether she will turn to the chancellor and ask him for extra money ahead of the autumn statement.
But what the NUT, and other teaching unions, say is certain is that their message is being heard far beyond the packed conference hall. | There is no more familiar cry from a teaching union conference than "Stop Education Cuts Now". |

Provide a brief summary for the information below. | Mr Farage said his "political ambition has been achieved" with the UK having voted to leave the EU.
He said the party was in a "pretty good place" and said he would not change his mind about quitting as he did after the 2015 general election.
Leading UKIP was "tough at times" but "all worth it" said Mr Farage, who is also an MEP. He added that the UK needed a "Brexit prime minister".
Mr Farage said the party would campaign against "backsliding" on the UK's exit from the EU, saying he planned to see out his term in the European Parliament - describing his party as "the turkeys that voted for Christmas".
He said his party's "greatest potential" lay in attracting Labour voters, adding that he would not be backing any particular candidate to replace him.
"May the best man or woman win," he said.
Mr Farage said he would "bury the hatchet with anybody" including UKIP's sole MP Douglas Carswell, who tweeted an emoji picture of a smiley face as the leader's resignation was announced.
The two have repeatedly clashed and tensions rose when they backed rival Leave campaigns ahead of the referendum.
Mr Carswell told the BBC's Daily Politics Mr Farage had "played a role" in the EU referendum, but said his departure represented a "huge opportunity" for the party.
He described the chances of him running for leader as "somewhere between nil and zero" and said the winning candidate had to "steer UKIP away from the temptation of becoming an angry, nativist party."
Another of the party's high-profile figures, former deputy chairwoman Suzanne Evans, said she would "love to" become leader.
However, she is currently suspended from the party after an internal disciplinary meeting found she had publicly criticised a fellow candidate and held herself out as a party spokeswoman without authority.
Ms Evans told the BBC: "I've always said if Nigel ever stood down for whatever reason, I'd love to have the opportunity to lead UKIP but I'm in this rather bizarre situation that despite people wanting me to do that and wanting to do it myself, I'm actually technically suspended from the party at the moment until the end of September.
"So obviously if I'm not technically a party member, it's going to make it very difficult for me to stand."
Former Conservative minister Neil Hamilton, who leads UKIP's group in the Welsh Assembly, said he was surprised at the timing of Mr Farage's resignation and would not be standing to replace him.
"We would not have won this referendum but for the battle he has fought over the years," he added.
Mr Farage announced his decision to stand aside in a speech in London, saying: "I want my life back, and it begins right now."
He has been leader of UKIP for most of the past eight years, standing down briefly in 2009 and being re-elected the following year.
He said he would quit after failing to win his seat at last year's general election, but stayed on after the party rejected his resignation. | Nigel Farage says he is standing down as leader of the UK Independence Party. |
Summarize the following content briefly. | David Strang said the evidence was clear that such sentences did not cut crime and called for a "more creative approach" to community-based options.
Since 2010 the Scottish courts have operated a presumption against prison sentences of three months or less.
The Scottish government has yet to publish its response to a consultation on increasing that to 12 months.
Speaking on the BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland programme, Mr Strang, who was formerly the chief constable of Lothian and Borders Police, said sending more people to jail to serve shorter sentences would result in reconviction rates spiralling as well as an increase in offending.
He said: "The evidence is very clear that if you want to reduce crime then you don't send people to prison for a short time.
"People who are released from a short sentence of less than 12 months, over half of them are reconvicted within one year.
"So I would have thought that one purpose of the criminal justice system is to prevent future crimes, to reduce reoffending, and that if you send someone to prison then the damage that that does leads to them reoffending more than if you had given them an alternative."
Mr Strang called for a more creative approach to community-based alternatives to prison, including fines and payback orders, which he said were much cheaper and far more effective.
He said that keeping a convict in prison for a year costs between £30,000-40,000 in Scotland, whereas a community payback order costs less than £10,000 a year.
The Scottish courts have a presumption against imposing prison sentences of three months or less unless it can be shown that no other alternative is appropriate.
Mr Strang said he understood that ministers were inclined to back plans to increase the period to 12 months.
He added: "I think there is quite a punitive attitude in Scotland in that somehow people feel that unless someone is sent to prison then they haven't really been dealt with properly for their crime.
"It's really important to get the message over that that's not the case. We should only be imprisoning people who need to be for the sake of either the seriousness of the offence that they've committed or particularly to protect the public from harm."
Scottish Conservative justice spokesman Liam Kerr said: "Short-term prison sentences can play an important role in our justice system, and it would be ludicrous to end them.
"We cannot fetter judges' discretion without full consideration of the consequences and wider policy context.
"There are many offences and circumstances where a custodial sentence of up to 12 months could be an appropriate punishment, and we need to allow judges the choice to hand down such sentences if they deem it necessary."
A Scottish government spokesman said the prison population remained "unacceptably high" and that it was setting out plans to invest in community sentences and electronic monitoring.
He added: "We have consistently stated that the consultation responses on extending the presumption against short prison sentences would inform our decisions and it is only right that we take the time to consider these views.
"We'll continue to discuss how best to take this forward with the relevant stakeholders.
"There will, however, always be some crimes where a custodial sentence is absolutely justified." | Scotland's chief inspector of prisons has called for an end to jail terms of less than 12 months. |

Jane Mulholland, from Blackburn, sustained fatal injuries in the crash at Wester Breich Road in West Calder at about 01:10 on Saturday.
Ms Mulholland was found trapped in her silver Citroen but died at the scene.
Police Scotland have appealed for witnesses or anyone who has information that can help them with their investigation.
The 40-year-old has told BBC Hereford & Worcester that he would be interested in succeeding the long-serving Carl Heeley, who stood down last week after 22 years' service.
Hughes is keen to carry on playing and said: "I just love scoring goals.
"But I'd be up for it. I've spoken to the board about it, outlined my ideas to them and we'll see what they think."
Hughes, who has scored 33 goals in 57 appearances since signing for Worcester in September 2015, intends to start doing his Football Association coaching qualifications this summer. But he hopes that, for now, his vast experience as a player, both on and off the field, will count for something.
"I've played with some top quality managers and I've learnt a lot from them," said Hughes, who has had 28 bosses (not including caretaker managers) in his 22 years in the game.
"I had six or seven in two years at Notts County. I'm well used to managers coming and going. You just have to get on with it."
Homeless Worcester, in their first season sharing Bromsgrove Rovers' Victoria Ground after three seasons as Kidderminster Harriers' tenants, currently stand 18th in National League North, three points clear of the relegation zone.
Smethwick-born Hughes began his career with Kidderminster Harriers in 1995, before making his name at West Bromwich Albion.
It led to his biggest career move, when Gordon Strachan signed him for newly-relegated Coventry City for £5m in 2001.
He was only with the Sky Blues for a year, at second tier level, before returning to the Hawthorns to help Albion win promotion to the Premier League in 2002.
But his career was then put on hold for three seasons when he was sent to prison in August 2004 for causing death by dangerous driving.
He returned to play in the lower reaches of the Football League, still proving a prolific scorer with Oldham, Notts County and Port Vale before dropping down to non-league football in January 2014 with Forest Green, Harriers, Ilkeston, and eventually Worcester.

Write a brief summary of the provided content. | The foreign secretary told Italian Foreign Minister Angelino Alfano legal reasons prevented him from being moved.
The president of the Bambino Gesu hospital in Rome had asked British doctors if 10-month-old Charlie could be transferred to his care.
It comes after the Pope tweeted his support for Charlie on Monday.
Charlie has been receiving specialist treatment at Great Ormond Street Hospital since October.
Mr Johnson has told his Italian counterpart it is "right that decisions continued to be led by expert medical opinion, supported by the courts", in line with Charlie's "best interests."
Charlie has mitochondrial depletion syndrome, a rare genetic condition which causes progressive muscle weakness. Doctors say he cannot see, hear, move, cry or swallow.
During questions to the prime minister, on Wednesday, Theresa May said she was "confident" Great Ormond Street Hospital "have, and always will, consider any offers or new information that has come forward with consideration of the well-being of a desperately ill child".
Charlie's parents raised £1.3m on a crowdfunding site to pay for experimental treatment in the US.
But they lost a legal battle with the hospital last month after judges at the European Court of Human Rights concluding further treatment would "continue to cause Charlie significant harm".
The Vatican's paediatric hospital stepped in after Pope Francis called for Charlie's parents, Chris Gard and Connie Yates, to be allowed to "accompany and treat their child until the end".
The hospital's president Mariella Enoc said: "I was contacted by the mother, who is a very determined and decisive person and doesn't want to be stopped by anything."
Renowned scientist and genetics expert Robert Winston told ITV's Good Morning Britain that courts and doctors should not be interfering with the parents' wishes, saying the loss of a child was "about the worst injury that any person can have".
However, he said "interferences from the Vatican and from Donald Trump" were "extremely unhelpful and very cruel".
Lord Winston added: "This child has been dealt with at a hospital which has huge expertise in mitochondrial disease and is being offered a break in a hospital that has never published anything on this disease, as far as I'm aware."
The Vatican said the Pope was following the case "with affection and sadness".
A statement added: "For [Charlie's parents] he prays, hoping that their desire to accompany and care for their own child to the end is not ignored."
US President Donald Trump also tweeted about Charlie on Monday, writing: "If we can help little #CharlieGard, as per our friends in the UK and the Pope, we would be delighted to do so."
Charlie's parents, from Bedfont, west London, have spent the last days of their son's life with him, after being given more time before his life-support is turned off.

The assault at a hotel in the capital, Ouagadougou, was claimed by al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM).
In a statement. Amnesty said Ms Alaoui had been shot twice in the attack, in the leg and thorax, and was believed to have been in a stable condition following an operation in hospital.
Mahamadi Ouedraogo, a driver working for Amnesty, was also killed in Friday's attack.
Both were parked outside the Cappucino cafe, opposite the luxury Splendid Hotel, one of the militants' targets, the group said.
Many of the victims of the assault were foreigners. Among those known to have died are:
At least three attackers died in the assaults, officials say.
It was AQIM's first attack in Burkina Faso. The group is based in the Sahara Desert between Mali, Niger and Algeria.
But Taylor Swift has hit back at claims she only writes songs about her ex-boyfriends.
"No-one says that about Ed Sheeran. No-one says that about Bruno Mars," she said in an interview with Australian radio station 2DayFM.
"Frankly, that is a very sexist angle to take."
The 24-year-old added: "I have a really strict personal policy that I never name names. So anybody saying that a song is about a specific person is purely speculating."
But despite never naming names, many people think much of Swift's back catalogue is linked to past relationships.
"My first album came out when I was 16," she said.
"Then what happens is, as you get more successful, you have more and more people paying attention to what you're doing. All of a sudden the perspective has changed.
"They use you writing songs about your life as a way to play detective.
"You're going to have people who are going to say, 'Oh, she just writes songs about her exes'.
"No-one says that about Ed Sheeran. No-one says that about Bruno Mars. They're all writing songs about their exes, their current girlfriends, their love life and no-one raises a red flag there."

What is the summary of the given information? | Dolphins are one of Aberdeen's biggest tourist attractions, with the city regarded as being among the best places in Europe to spot them.
Volunteers from RSPB Scotland's Dolphinwatch expect thousands of visitors to try to catch a glimpse of the spectacular sea antics over the summer.
The Dolphinwatch project was pioneered in 2013.
The team will be at Torry Battery from 11:00 to 18:00 every Thursday to Sunday until 16 August.
Dolphinwatch team member Helen Hiley said: "Aberdeen is such a fantastic place to see dolphins and it's amazing to have a wildlife spectacle like this so close to a city centre.
"You often get great views of them feeding and playing at the harbour entrance."
Amateur photographer David McCulloch, who took a recent dramatic shot which has proved popular on social media, described the experience of capturing the image as "out of this world". | Aberdeen's annual Dolphinwatch project is getting under way. |
Write a concise summary of the provided excerpt. | Twenty years ago, even though he didn't know it, Duncan Jones was starting preparation for the biggest movie of his career so far.
In the mid 1990s Jones, an avid gamer, was immersed in the world of Azeroth in the first Warcraft real-time strategy game, Orcs and Humans.
Cut to 2015, and Jones - now an acclaimed film-maker - has spent almost three years working on the fantasy epic Warcraft: The Beginning that will hit cinemas in June 2016.
"They've been trying to make this film for a long time," he tells the BBC down the line from Los Angeles.
"When I came in I pitched what I thought it should be: essentially a war story where the story is told from both sides and both sides can be empathised with - and that is the film that we made."
The Warcraft movie has been in development since 2006 when it was first announced by the game developer Blizzard Entertainment. Jones came on board in 2013 after the departure of Sam Raimi who had previously been at the helm.
Jones - the son of David Bowie - and his British producer Stuart Fenegan had already been behind two well-received sci-fi films, cult indie hit Moon and time-travel thriller Source Code. But this $100m fantasy movie is by far their biggest project to date.
So why does Jones, 44, think Warcraft will buck the trend of disappointing video game adaptations for the big screen?
"Stuart and I are always looking for challenges!" he laughs.
"We are both very familiar with the track record of games to movies. I think the key is that we actually come from a generation of people who are games players.
"I'm a film maker who started on the Atari and then went onto the Commodore 64 and the Amiga. So I possibly have a different sensibility to people who didn't play games growing up.
"I'm looking at what makes it appeal to me on a story level and who are the characters I can empathise with.
"I don't think it's necessarily what the source material is - I think it's about the respect that you treat it with and how you find the core that makes it worth caring about."
The long-awaited trailer, which was released on 6 November, gives the first proper look at the vast realm of Azeroth and the arrival of fearsome Orc warriors fleeing their dying home. The cast includes Travis Fimmel, Paula Patton, Ben Foster, Dominic Cooper and Toby Kebbell.
At the beginning of 2015, Blizzard Entertainment announced that 100 million subscribers had played World of Warcraft over the game's lifetime.
Jones knows how passionate those fans can be and the pressure that brings.
"The gaming audience spends huge amounts of time in those worlds. They know them backwards and they have a unique perspective because not everyone does the same thing.
"So the challenge is to find a way to pull together those elements that means something to everyone."
But the director also knows he can't just rely on the support of hardcore gamers at the box office. Warcraft has to work for people who've never ventured into the world of online role-play.
"There's a huge fanbase for this game but it would be wrong to assume they are all going to turn up.
"There needs to be a broader audience. I don't think the film would be as good if you were filling it with in-jokes and storylines that assumed too much knowledge."
With the post-production work on Warcraft: The Beginning complete, Jones and Fenegan are turning their attention to a new film Mute, set 40 years in the future in a Berlin described as "a science fiction Casablanca".
The cast includes Alexander Skarsgard, Paul Rudd and Moon star Sam Rockwell.
Jones says he is thrilled to be getting the project off the ground after 12 years of planning.
He points out that when he first met Rockwell, it was Mute - and not Moon - that he was originally pitching to make. "It's been a long time coming," he admits.
With his father having just announced a new album for 2016, it looks like next year will be a big one for Bowie and son. | As the first full trailer for next year's Warcraft film is released, director Duncan Jones explains why he thinks this video game-based movie won't be a let-down like so many before it. |
Summarize the content of the document below. | The crimes took place between 23 December and 7 January in Iver, Chalfont St Peter, Slough and Windsor.
Ruben Smith and Wesley Harcourt pleaded guilty to burglary, fraud and robbery and were jailed for nine and a half years and 12 years on Monday.
Sarah Belcher was jailed for two years after pleading guilty to burglary.
Det Con Katy Lewis of Thames Valley Police said the victims were targeted because of their vulnerability.
Their properties were also in remote areas of Buckinghamshire and Berkshire.
She said all the victims were elderly and some suffered from dementia.
"All the victims have been in their homes during the offence with some committed in the middle of the night," she said.
"Some of the victims were assaulted or threatened with weapons during the offences, with one of the victims repeatedly punched in the face."
The trio stole bank cards, cash, jewellery and a vehicle during the crime spree.
They were jailed at Reading Crown Court on Monday.
Smith, 33, of no fixed abode, pleaded guilty to two counts of burglary, two counts of fraud and one count of robbery, and was jailed for a nine and a half years.
Harcourt, 39, of Monksfield Way in Slough, pleaded guilty to two counts of robbery, two counts of burglary and one count of fraud, and was sent to prison for 12 years.
Belcher, 40, of Brammas Close, Slough, pleaded guilty to one count of burglary and was jailed for two years.
John Arthur Jones, 66, of Bodffordd, Anglesey, was convicted of causing dangerous distractions to Hawk jet pilots on night training flights during his trial in June.
Mold Crown Court heard he had a grievance against the RAF and, at one stage, considered legal action.
The former councillor had denied 13 charges of endangering aircraft.
Jones, who was also a council housing director, shone the lights at jets flying from RAF Mona, Anglesey, between November 2013 and September 2014.
He had told police pilots were deliberately harassing him by flying over his property, his trial heard.
On Friday, Judge Geraint Walters told him: "You possess an abundance of self belief in your own ability to achieve things, which transcends all reason and which is borne out of profound arrogance."
Jones, he said, had indulged in a determined campaign over many months.
The judge said when Jones failed to have the flight paths moved from above his home and away from an ambitious development of Canadian lodges which did not go ahead, he launched a campaign of intimidation against them.
"The risk caused here was significant," he said.
"The consequences could have been devastating. Your conduct became a campaign over a long period of time."
The illuminations occurred during night flying training as pilots came in to land.
They followed a carefully executed series of procedures and often split second decisions had to be made, the court heard.
"Any distraction is a potential danger during this stage," Judge Walters told him.
Each time an attempted landing failed, that presented a lost opportunity for the pilots being trained and considerable expense to the RAF, the judge said.
Undercover police officers were drafted in and they caught Jones red-handed.
During the trial, Jones said he was simply filming the jets as part of a compensation claim against the Ministry of Defence.
After the sentencing, Det Sgt Chris Hargrave from North Wales Police said: "Throughout the investigation and trial, he has shown no remorse for his actions or recognition of the potential dangers and implications to not only the RAF personnel but also the wider community.
"We welcome the result of the court and hope this sends out a strong message to those who commit similar offences." | Three burglars who preyed on elderly people with dementia over Christmas, in some cases assaulting and threatening them with weapons, have been jailed.

Please summarize the passage below. | Sotherton, who won heptathlon bronze in 2004, has been given third for the same event in Beijing 2008 after Tatyana Chernova tested positive for a steroid.
In November, the Briton was moved up to bronze in the 2008 4x400m relay after Belarus and Russia's disqualifications.
"Until now I felt my career could have been better," she told BBC Sport.
"I left Beijing in tears because I thought I had failed. But I am a lot happier now because I feel my career has more meaning to it and I am worthy.
"I would swap all three medals for a gold, obviously, but to win three Olympic medals, regardless of what colour they are, is an achievement and I feel very happy about that."
Sotherton, 40, retired five years ago after failing to recover from a back problem in time to qualify for the heptathlon at London 2012.
She initially finished fifth in the heptathlon in Beijing but climbed to third after the previously announced doping ban of Ukrainian Lyudmila Blonska was followed by that of Russia's Chernova.
After finding out she was to become a three-time Olympic medallist, Sotherton posted an emotional video on social media showing her reaction.
"I am happy but obviously at the same time disappointed to have missed nine years as a three-time Olympic medallist," she said. "You feel all of the emotions in a space of a minute.
"All of my friends and family saw my emotions so they have been emotional when they have messaged me.
"It isn't just about me, it is about the people who support me and were around me at the time. They are happy because they feel like they have won that bronze as well."
More than 100 athletes have had positive results in re-tests conducted by the IOC of samples taken during the London 2012 and Beijing 2008 Olympics.
Sotherton's compatriot, Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill, belatedly won the 2011 World heptathlon title last year when Chernova was similarly stripped of gold for doping.
The 31-year-old, who retired last year and is due to receive her gold medal from Daegu in a special ceremony at the World Championships in London in August, said: "We have made massive steps to becoming a cleaner sport in the past year but there's a lot that needs to be done.
"It's not something that's going to happen in a short amount of time.
"Hopefully we have a fantastic World Championships and we don't have this case of three, four or five years down the line where people are having medals stripped off them.
"I hope as we continue with our sport over the next few years it just gets better and better." | Kelly Sotherton feels her career has "more meaning" after she was upgraded to a three-time Olympic medallist following retrospective drug tests. |
Please provide a summary for the content below. | Heavy rain was blamed for preventing concrete used during overnight repairs to the carriageway, from setting.
Thousands of motorists were held up for hours with tailbacks at one stage said to be stretching 16 miles.
AA president Edmund King has called for an inquiry into what went wrong.
Describing the M25 as the "road to hell" on Friday he said there had to be a "thorough investigation into this incident".
"It is disappointing that not only did the road fail, but it placed many drivers in danger and also reportedly damaged a number of vehicles.
"If this happened on the railways, passengers could claim compensation.
"As it has happened on the roads, drivers just have to put up with it."
The road collapsed on the anti-clockwise section at about 05:00 GMT on Friday as concrete repairs carried out on Thursday failed to set in heavy rain.
The Highways Agency said: "One of these concrete sections disintegrated and another section was showing signs of distress."
The pothole which measured 16ft (4.8m) long and 11.8in (0.3m) deep caused many motorist to shred their tyres, Surrey Police said.
The lanes between junctions 10 and nine finally reopened at about 04:00 on Saturday.
One lane remained available for motorists, but many people travelling to Gatwick Airport reported missing their flights as a result of the disruption.
Reporting from the scene on Friday, BBC Surrey reporter Adrian Harms said: "It's been a nightmare. All the local roads seems to be really badly snarled up."
Road minister John Hayes said he would be expecting to see an urgent report from the Highways Agency detailing what had happened.
Gareth Hutch was shot dead at about 10:00 local time on Tuesday at the Avondale House flats on North Cumberland Street where he lived.
Mr Hutch was the nephew of Gerard Hutch, the man known as 'The Monk'.
On Tuesday evening, a 29-year-old man was arrested after he handed himself into gardaà (Irish police) and is being held at Mountjoy Garda Station.
He can be detained for up to seven days under anti-gang legislation.
Police have cordoned off the scene for a forensic examination.
The killing is believed to be connected to an ongoing feud between two criminal gangs in the city.
Six people have died since February as a result of a violent dispute between the Hutch and Kinahan gangs.
Last week, Patrick Hutch became the first man to be charged with one of the murders.
He is accused of killing David Byrne in a shooting at a boxing weigh-in event at the Regency Hotel in Dublin in February.
The murder of Mr Hutch's brother Gary in Spain last year is believed to have been the first death in the feud.
The Scottish club said a recent consultation found that admitting women members was supported by over three-quarters of those who participated.
Muirfield voted in May not to admit women members and lost its right to stage the Open Championship.
Royal Troon, situated in South Ayrshire, is the host for this year's Open, which runs from 14-17 July.
Troon said in January it would review of its male-only membership policy.
Club captain Martin Cheyne said: "Recently we spoke about the need for our club to reflect the modern society in which we exist.
"I am pleased that a large majority of members who responded to our survey agree and support opening the club to women."
Muirfield's vote to change its rules and allow women fell short of the required two-thirds majority.

Summarize the information given below. | The flag of an Armenian unit marching behind Azeri troops is not visible in the image on the ministry's website.
But a live broadcast of the event showed both units walking one after the other with their flags.
They were in the Russian capital to commemorate the Soviet victory against Nazi Germany in World War Two.
Arranged in order of the Russian alphabet, troops from the two countries of the former USSR joined other foreign troops marching through Red Square to mark the 70th anniversary of the end of the war in Europe.
Azerbaijani military expert Uzeyir Jafarov told BBC Azeri that he had no doubt the image had been Photoshopped.
"According to sources in the ministry, they did not expect the military units of Armenia and Azerbaijan to march one after another. During rehearsals they were in different parts of the area," he explained.
Meanwhile, the Armenpress news agency website observed that "as a result of this fraudulent act, the artistically unique facade of the building of the Russian Museum of History looks different".
The museum in the background had lost one of its windows in the Defence Ministry's version of the photo, another keen observer told Russia's Regnum news agency (in Russian).
Azerbaijan's Defence Ministry has declined to comment on the reports.
The question over whether the photo was doctored has also been actively discussed on social media sites in both countries.

Please provide a short summary of this passage. | An object was thrown at the Central Mosque in Potterrow at about 02:10 on Sunday which caused minor fire damage to a door.
No-one was hurt. A small bush in the garden area was also damaged.
Officers have described it as a "despicable and reckless act" and urged anyone who saw anything suspicious around the mosque or in the Potterrow area to get in touch.
Det Insp John Kavanagh, from Police Scotland, said: "Fortunately no-one was injured as a result of this incident, but the consequences could have been far worse had the fire taken hold and spread."
Police are looking for a man believed to be in his early 30s with very short hair, wearing a short-sleeved black top with a white emblem on the front and dark trousers.
It is believed the man spoke to a group of females in George Square, near the junction with the Meadows, before the incident happened.
Foysol Choudhury, chairman of the Edinburgh and Lothians Regional Equality Council, said: "ELREC strongly condemns this crime as an attack against our freedom of religion and expression.
"Edinburgh cannot tolerate any action that aims to spread hate and division within its society.
"ELREC would like to uphold Police Scotland's request for everyone who has any information to contact them and wishes to offer support to anyone who feels more insecure after this attack."
The man, in his 30s and from London, died at the scene, on the London-bound M26 at Kemsing in Kent.
He was the sole occupant of a Citroen C2 which left the road and crashed into a bank just before 17:00 BST on Saturday, Kent Police said.

She has long been criticised in eurozone countries like Spain and Greece where unemployment is rising to previously unknown levels.
In an interview for the BBC, she said their level of joblessness represented a "huge crisis".
But she also resolutely defended the policy of tight controls on spending.
When unemployment among the young had soared in her own area of East Germany, "many young people... only had jobs because they moved to the south", she said.
There would have to be more "mobility", she argued.
"I think it's unfair that it is the young people especially who have to pay the bill for something they didn't do," she said.
"But there's no way around it. We have to manufacture products or offer services in Europe that we can sell."
Chancellor Merkel maintained that the fundamental policy was right.
She sometimes balks at the word "austerity" but said: "With regard to jobs and growth, the eurozone and other countries are in a difficult situation. The issue is not austerity, the issue is to get back to growth.
"This process is under way. Europe has to decide: how do we make a living? What do we want to produce? What do we want to manufacture? How can we cut red tape? How can we intensify trade?"
She said that the policy for Greece and Spain was not her personal idea but one agreed by the "Troika" of the International Monetary Fund, the European Central Bank and the European Union.
What did she feel when she saw anti-German demonstrations? "We have demonstrations not just abroad but also in Germany," she replied. "As a government, as politicians, we have to accept that. I want these countries to recover quickly."
She said the policy of balancing budgets had been applied flexibly.
"You know as well as me that the European countries all agreed to the growth and stability pact," she said. "Nevertheless, we gave many countries the possibility to have a deficit above 3%. France, for instance, but also Spain and Portugal." | Police are investigating a hate crime targeted at a mosque in Edinburgh.

Please give a summary of the document below. | Dean Peter Rutter, 41, of Abenbury, near Wrexham, admitted 20 sex offences against four boys, some aged under 10.
Mold Crown Court heard it lasted several years and the boys were threatened with physical violence.
Rutter said he did it because he was attracted to young boys and would continue to abuse boys if he was able.
After his arrest, Rutter left a suicide note at his home but was found living in a Tenby hotel 10 days later after officers traced his mobile phone signal.
The note said he had taken an overdose and gone to hang himself.
Previously, he admitted wasting police time and was given a three-month prison sentence, suspended for 12 months.
He admitted 20 charges of sexual assault, rape, attempted rape and causing a child to engage in sexual activity.
Henry Hills, defending, said: "It beholds me to acknowledge the extremely grave nature of the offences and the harm that has been caused."
Mr Hills said the only real mitigation was the fact Rutter had taken full responsibility and pleaded guilty to all charges.
Judge Niclas Parry said he would only be freed if the parole board considered it safe.
He said his offending could "only be described as monstrous examples of sexual abuse".
The judge also imposed a 12-month licence period upon his release.
Rutter was ordered to register as a sex offender for life and a lifetime sexual harm prevention order was made, preventing him from having unsupervised contact with boys under 16.
Det Insp Sarah-Jayne Williams, of North Wales Police, paid tribute to the "courage and strength" of the victims in coming forward and welcomed the "significant sentence" which she said would ensure Rutter could not pose a risk to other young people.
An NSPCC Wales spokesman said Rutter's crimes would have caused "unimaginable damage" to the young victims.
Nearly all the 22,000 tickets were snapped up within half-an-hour after going on sale at 15:00 BST on Saturday.
Tickets, via the Ticketmaster website, were priced at £20 each for ground passes to outside courts, £40 for Court One and £70 for Centre Court.
An extra day has been scheduled for the first time since 2004 to help clear a backlog after rain disrupted play.
The order of play will be released later in the day although it is thought there will be at least eight singles matches - mainly in the women's draw - and a variety of doubles contests.
"This has been a difficult decision, but one we had to take to reduce the backlog of matches and in the interests of completing the championships on time," said Richard Lewis, chief executive of the All England Lawn Tennis Club.
"And as with other Middle Sundays, I am sure there will be a great atmosphere."
This will be the fourth time, after 1991, 1997 and 2004, there will be action on the tournament's seventh day - traditionally a rest day.
Gates will open from 08:45 BST, with play scheduled to start at 11:30 on all courts.
While demand was heavy for Sunday tickets, wet weather has been blamed for a drop in attendances at Wimbledon this week.
After five rain-hit days, nearly 15,000 fewer fans had walked through the gates than did so in the equivalent period last year.
Before Saturday's action, the combined attendance stood at 195,875 compared with the 210,358 who were there at this stage 12 months ago.
Attendances were down on four of the first five days, with crowds falling below capacity on two consecutive days for the first time since the soggy 2004 championships.
